Saludó y Se Fue
Ignacio Corsini
He Said Hello and Left
Like someone who's leaving to never come back
She looked at me as she passed by, said hello, and left
I haven't seen her since
She swore her love was for me and I gave her my heart
Why do you leave me like this?
She was a local girl with such light in her eyes
That even the sun out of pure envy
Hid more than once
Like someone who's leaving to never come back
She looked at me as she passed by, said hello, and left
I haven't seen her since
She left me a note saying
If someday they gossip just for the pleasure of doing harm
Because I never told her the torment I carry within me
Tell them to be honest, pity my sorrow
That I'm leaving with a secret that only God knows
That I carry in my memory and await your forgiveness
Even the neighborhood is crying like me
It no longer has someone to sing the tangos of the slums
Or embroider the drawings of some flowery tango
Which was the luxury of the local girls in the art of dancing
I have a feeling that, at the doors, they hung a black ribbon
Because the neighborhood is very sad since she left
Like someone who's leaving to never come back
She looked at me as she passed by, said hello, and left
I haven't seen her since!
