The Last Binge

La Ultima Curda (part. Edmundo Rivero)

Pity, bandoneonLastima, bandoneón
My heartMi corazón
Your hoarse, malevolent curseTu ronca maldición maleva
Your tear of rumTu lágrima de ron
Carries meMe lleva
Towards the deep underworldHacia el hondo bajo fondo
Where the mud rebelsDonde el barro se subleva
I know, don't tell me! You're right!¡Ya sé, no me digás! ¡Tenés razón!
Life is an absurd woundLa vida es una herida absurda
And everything, everything is so fleetingY es todo, todo tan fugaz
That it's just a binge, nothing more!Que es una curda, ¡nada más!
My confessionMi confesión

Tell me your sentenceContame tu condena
Tell me your failureDecime tu fracaso
Don't you see the pain¿No ves la pena
That has wounded me?Que me ha herido?
And simply talk to meY hablame simplemente
About that absent loveDe aquel amor ausente
Behind a scrap of oblivionTras un retazo del olvido
I know it hurts me!¡Ya sé que me hace daño!
I know I hurt you¡Yo sé que te lastimo
Crying my sermon of wine!Llorando mi sermón de vino!

But it's the old lovePero es el viejo amor
That trembles, bandoneonQue tiembla, bandoneón
And seeks in the numbing liquorY busca en el licor que aturde
The binge that in the endLa curda que al final
Ends the showTermine la función
Drawing a curtain on the heartCorriéndole un telón al corazón
A little memory and tastelessUn poco de recuerdo y sin sabor
Your slow grumble dripsGotea tu rezongo lerdo
Your liquor swirls and drivesMarea tu licor y arrea
The troop of the leftLa tropilla de la zurda
When pouring the last bingeAl volcar la última curda
Close the window on meCerrame el ventanal
Drag the sunArrastra el sol
Its slow snail of sleepSu lento caracol de sueño
Don't you see that I come from a country¿No ves que vengo de un país
That is always forgotten, always grayQue está de olvido, siempre gris
After the alcohol?Tras el alcohol?

Tell me your sentenceContame tu condena
Tell me your failureDecime tu fracaso
Don't you see the pain¿No ves la pena
That has wounded me?Que me ha herido?
And simply talk to meY hablame simplemente
About that absent loveDe aquel amor ausente
Behind a scrap of oblivionTras un retazo del olvido
I know it hurts me!¡Ya sé que me hace daño!
I know I hurt you¡Yo sé que te lastimo
Crying my sermon of wine!Llorando mi sermón de vino!

But it's the old lovePero es el viejo amor
That trembles, bandoneonQue tiembla, bandoneón
And seeks in the numbing liquorY busca en el licor que aturde
The binge that in the endLa curda que al final
Ends the showTermine la función
Drawing a curtain on the heartCorriéndole un telón al corazón
