Milonga Para Una Niña

Milonga For A Girl

Milonga Para Una Niña

He who has lived in painEl que ha vivido penando
Because of a bad lovePor causa de un mal amor
Finds nothing betterNo encuentra nada mejor
Than to sing and think.Que cantar e ir pensando.
And if he was calculatingY si anduvo calculando
What fault he could haveQué culpa pudo tener
When he sees that the womanCuando ve que la mujer
Does not know obligationsNo conoce obligaciones
He consoles himself with songsSe consuela con canciones
And forgets about love.Y se olvida del querer.

Second...Segunda...

That's why girl I ask youPor eso niña te pido
Not to hold a grudge against meQue no me guardes rencor
I cannot give you loveYo no puedo darte amor
Nor can you give me forgetfulnessNi vos podes darme olvido
I know that in any carelessnessYo sé que en cualquier descuido
I will be thrown to the groundMe va volear contra el suelo
And even if you offer me comfortY aunque me ofrezcas consuelo
I cannot accept itYo no lo puedo aceptar
I can teach you to flyPuedo enseñarte a volar
But not to follow your flight.Pero no a seguirte el vuelo

I cannot give youYo no te puedo entregar
A heart that is extinguishedUn corazón apagado
When the one next to it failsCuando falla el del costado
There is nothing to talk aboutNo hay nada que conversar
There is a way to loveHay una forma de amar
It's a way of consciousnessEs un modo de conciencia,
There is a love that is patienceHay un amor que es paciencia
And another that is just a scentY otro que sólo aromar
Which love can give you¿Cuál amor te puede dar
Who loved your innocence?quien amara tu inocencia?

When I see you againCuando te vuelva a encontrar
We can smile at each otherNos podemos sonreír
I prefer to see you leavePrefiero verte partir
As I saw you arriveComo te he visto llegar
When you think againCuando vuelvas a pensar
That once I knew youQue una vez te conocí
And not just becauseY que no mas porque si
I composed this song for youTe compuse esta canción
It will sing in your heartCantará en tu corazón
The little I gave youLo poquito que te dí
