Milonga Para Una Niña
(milonga)
El que ha vivido penando,
por causa de un mal amor,
no encuentra nada mejor,
que cantar y d'ir pensando.
Y si anduvo calculando,
qué culpa pudo tener,
cuando ve que una mujer,
no conoce obligaciones,
se consuela con canciones,
y se olvida de querer.
Por eso niña te pido,
que no me guardes rencor,
yo no puedo darte amor,
ni vos podés darme olvido.
Yo sé que en cualquier descuido,
me iba a bolear contra el suelo,
y aunque me ofrezcas consuelo,
yo no lo puedo aceptar,
puedo enseñarte a volar,
pero no seguirte el vuelo.
Yo no te puedo entregar,
un corazón apagado;
cuando falla el del costado,
no hay nada que conversar.
Hay una forma de amar,
que es un modo de conciencia;
hay un amor que es paciencia,
y otro que es solo aromar.
¿ Cuál amor te podría dar,
quien amara tu inocencia ¿.
Cuando te vuelva a encontrar,
no podremos sonreír,
prefiero verte partir,
como te he visto llegar.
Cuando vuelvas a pensar,
que una vez te conocí,
y que nomás porque sí,
te compuse una canción,
cantará en tu corazón,
lo poquito que te di.
Milonga For A Girl
(milonga)
He who has lived in pain,
because of a bad love,
finds nothing better,
than to sing and think.
And if he was calculating,
what fault he could have,
when he sees that a woman,
does not know obligations,
he consoles himself with songs,
and forgets to love.
That's why girl I ask you,
not to hold a grudge against me,
I cannot give you love,
nor can you give me forgetfulness.
I know that in any carelessness,
I was going to stumble against the ground,
and even if you offer me comfort,
I cannot accept it,
I can teach you to fly,
but not follow your flight.
I cannot give you,
a heart that is extinguished;
when the one next to it fails,
there is nothing to talk about.
There is a way of loving,
that is a way of conscience;
there is a love that is patience,
and another that is just a scent.
Which love could I give you,
who loved your innocence?
When I see you again,
we won't be able to smile,
I prefer to see you leave,
as I saw you arrive.
When you think again,
that once I knew you,
and just because,
I composed a song for you,
it will sing in your heart,
the little I gave you.
