Arrabal Bandoneon

Bandoneon Arrabalero

Arrabal bandoneon, old deflated bellows,Bandoneon arrabalero, viejo fuelle desinflado,
I found you like a kid that was abandoned by his motherTe encontre como a un pebete que la madre abandono
At the door of a convent with no plaster on the walls,En la puerta de un convento sin reboque en las paredes,
In the light of a little lantern that illuminated you at night.A la luz de un farolito que de noche te alumbro.

Bandoneon, why do you see that I'm sad and can't sing anymore,Bandoneon, porque ves que estoy triste y cantar ya no puedo,
You know that I carry a marked pain in my soul.Vos sabes que yo llevo en el alma marcao un dolor.

I took you to my room, I cradled you in my cold chest,Te lleve a mi pieza, te acune en mi pecho frio,
I too was abandoned, I found myself in the brothel;Yo tambin abandonado me encontraba en el bulin;
You tried to console me with your hoarse voiceHas querido consolarme con tu voz enronquecida
And your sorrowful notes increased my longing.Y tus notas doloridas aumento mi berretin.
