Mi Noche Triste

My Sad Night

Mi Noche Triste

Lady who left me strandedPercanta que me amuraste
In the best of my lifeEn lo mejor de mi vida
Leaving my soul woundedDejándome el alma herida
And thorns in my heart,Y espinas en el corazón,
Knowing that I loved you,Sabiendo que te quería,
That you were my joyQue vos eras mi alegría
And my embracing dream...Y mi sueño abrazador...
There is no comfort for me anymorePara mi ya no hay consuelo
And that's why I get drunkY por eso me encurdelo
To forget your love.Pa olvidarme de tu amor.

When I go to my little placeCuando voy a mi cotorro
And see it messy,Y lo veo desarreglado,
All sad, abandoned,Todo triste, abandonado,
I feel like crying,Me dan ganas de llorar,
I stop for a long timeMe detengo largo rato
Gazing at your pictureCampaneando tu retrato
To try to console myself.Pa poderme consolar.

There are no longer in the roomYa no hay en el bulin
Those pretty little bottlesAquellos lindos frasquitos
Adorned with ribbonsAdornados con moñitos
All of the same color,Todos de un mismo color,
And the mirror is fogged up,Y el espejo esta empañado,
It seems like it has criedSi parece que ha llorado
Due to the absence of your love.Por la ausencia de tu amor.

At night when I lie downDe noche cuando me acuesto
I can't close the doorNo puedo cerrar la puerta
Because leaving it openPorque dejándo abierta
I delude myself that you're coming back.Me hago ilusión que volvés.
I always bring cookiesSiempre traigo bizcochitos
To have with a little matePa tomar con matecito
Like when you were here...Como cuando estabas vos...
And if you could see the catY si vieras la catrera
How angry she getsComo se pone cabrera
When she doesn't see us both.Cuando no nos ve a los dos.

The guitar in the closetLa guitarra en el ropero
Is still hanging there;Todavía esta colgada;
No one sings in itNadie en ella canta nada
Or makes its strings vibrate...Ni hace sus cuerdas vibrar...
And the lamp in the roomY la lámpara del cuarto
Has also felt your absenceTambién tu ausencia ha sentido
Because its light has not wantedPorque su luz no ha querido
To illuminate my sad night.Mi noche triste alumbrar.
