El duende del bandoneon

He starts to push,
people arriving
because the dance has already begun
he starts to play and then to move his body
Miguel with his bandoneon.
He goes around asking to have a drink
a sip at the counter
maybe his voice is hoarse
from being a night owl.
Excuse me sir, I want to pass
I'm also from Santiago
I can't miss where he is
playing Miguel Simón.
He knows I can't miss where he is
playing Miguel Simón.
The night goes by
he wants to stay drinking mate from sunrise to sunset
and keep playing, he doesn't want to stop
Miguel with his bandoneon.
I know that Miguel
is sought by the spirit of the bandoneon
and then he also stays with him
inside his heart
