Garganta con Arena

Throat with Sand

Garganta con Arena

You seeYa ves
The day doesn't dawnEl día no amanece
Polaco GoyenechePolaco Goyeneche
Sing me one more tangoCántame un tango más

You seeYa ves
The night gets longLa noche se hace larga
Your life has a karmaTu vida tiene un karma
To sing, always singCantar, siempre cantar

Your voiceTu voz
That moves the tangoQue al tango lo emociona
Saying the semicolonDiciendo el punto y coma
That no one sang to itQue nadie le cantó

Your voiceTu voz
With goblins and ghostsCon duendes y fantasmas
Breathes with asthmaRespira con el asma
Of an old bandoneonDe un viejo bandoneón

SingCanta
Throat with sandGarganta con arena
Your voice has the sorrowTu voz tiene la pena
That Malena didn't singQue Malena no cantó

SingCanta
Because Juárez condemns youQue Juárez te condena
By hurting your sorrowAl lastimar tu pena
With his white bandoneonCon su blanco bandoneón

SingCanta
People are applaudingLa gente está aplaudiendo
And even if you're dyingY aunque te estés muriendo
They don't know your painNo conocen tu dolor

SingCanta
That Troilo from heavenQue Troilo desde el cielo
Under your pillowDebajo de tu almohada
Left you a verseUn verso te dejó

He sangCantó
A somewhat insolent tangoUn tango algo insolente
You made peopleHiciste que a la gente
Feel their painLe duela su dolor

He sangCantó
A tightrope walker tangoUn tango equilibrista
More than a singer artistMás que cantor artista
With singer's vicesCon vicios de cantor

You seeYa ves
To me and Buenos AiresA mí y a Buenos Aires
We always lack airNos falta siempre el aire
When your voice is not hereCuando no esta tu voz

To youA vos
Who taught me so muchQue tanto me enseñaste
The day you sangEl día que cantaste
This song with meConmigo esta canción

SingCanta
Throat with sandGarganta con arena
Your voice has the sorrowTu voz tiene la pena
That Malena didn't singQue Malena no cantó

SingCanta
Because Juárez condemns youQue Juárez te condena
By hurting your sorrowAl lastimar tu pena
With his white bandoneonCon su blanco bandoneón

SingCanta
People are applaudingLa gente está aplaudiendo
And even if you're dyingY aunque te estés muriendo
They don't know your painNo conocen tu dolor

SingCanta
That Troilo from heavenQue Troilo desde el cielo
Under your pillowDebajo de tu almohada
Left you a verseUn verso te dejó

And singY canta
That Troilo from heavenQue Troilo desde el cielo
Under your pillowDebajo de tu almohada
Left you a verseUn verso te dejó
