Alguien Le Dice Al Tango

Someone Tells Tango

Alguien Le Dice Al Tango

Tango that I have seen dancingTango que he visto bailar
Against a yellow sunsetContra un ocaso amarillo
By those who were capablePor quienes eran capaces
Of another dance, the one with the knifeDe otro baile, el del cuchillo

Tango from that MaldonadoTango de aquel maldonado
With less water than mudCon menos agua que barro
Tango whistled as it passedTango silbado al pasar
From the driver's seat of the cartDesde el pescante del carro

Carefree and looseDespreocupado y zafado
You always looked straight aheadSiempre mirabas de frente
Tango that were the joyTango que fuiste la dicha
Of being a man and being braveDe ser hombre y ser valiente

Tango that were happy,Tango que fuiste feliz,
As I have been tooComo yo también lo he sido
As memory tells meSegún me cuenta el recuerdo
Memory was forgetfulnessEl recuerdo fue el olvido

Since that yesterday, how many thingsDesde ese ayer, ¡cuántas cosas
Have happened to both of usA los dos nos han pasado
The departures and the sorrowLas partidas y el pesar
Of loving and not being lovedDe amar y no ser amado

I may have died and you will continueYo habré muerto y seguirás
Bordering our livesOrillando nuestra vida
Buenos Aires does not forget youBuenos aires no te olvida
Tango that you were and will beTango que fuiste y serás
