Milonga Para Una Niña

Milonga For A Girl

Milonga Para Una Niña

(milonga)(milonga)

He who has lived in pain,El que ha vivido penando,
because of a bad love,por causa de un mal amor,
finds nothing better,no encuentra nada mejor,
than to sing and think.que cantar y d'ir pensando.
And if he was calculating,Y si anduvo calculando,
what fault he could have,qué culpa pudo tener,
when he sees that a woman,cuando ve que una mujer,
does not know obligations,no conoce obligaciones,
he consoles himself with songs,se consuela con canciones,
and forgets to love.y se olvida de querer.

That's why girl I ask you,Por eso niña te pido,
not to hold a grudge against me,que no me guardes rencor,
I cannot give you love,yo no puedo darte amor,
nor can you give me forgetfulness.ni vos podés darme olvido.
I know that in any carelessness,Yo sé que en cualquier descuido,
I was going to stumble against the ground,me iba a bolear contra el suelo,
and even if you offer me comfort,y aunque me ofrezcas consuelo,
I cannot accept it,yo no lo puedo aceptar,
I can teach you to fly,puedo enseñarte a volar,
but not follow your flight.pero no seguirte el vuelo.

I cannot give you,Yo no te puedo entregar,
a heart that is extinguished;un corazón apagado;
when the one next to it fails,cuando falla el del costado,
there is nothing to talk about.no hay nada que conversar.
There is a way of loving,Hay una forma de amar,
that is a way of conscience;que es un modo de conciencia;
there is a love that is patience,hay un amor que es paciencia,
and another that is just a scent.y otro que es solo aromar.
Which love could I give you,¿ Cuál amor te podría dar,
who loved your innocence?quien amara tu inocencia ¿.

When I see you again,Cuando te vuelva a encontrar,
we won't be able to smile,no podremos sonreír,
I prefer to see you leave,prefiero verte partir,
as I saw you arrive.como te he visto llegar.
When you think again,Cuando vuelvas a pensar,
that once I knew you,que una vez te conocí,
and just because,y que nomás porque sí,
I composed a song for you,te compuse una canción,
it will sing in your heart,cantará en tu corazón,
the little I gave you.lo poquito que te di.
