LA MALETA

THE SUITCASE

LA MALETA

I don't know if I'm coming or goingYa no sé si voy o vengo
Or which place is mineNi qué lugar es el mío
Nor what my town isTampoco cuál es mi pueblo
But the river is made of silverPero de Plata es el río

Unraveling my rootsDescosiendo mis raíces
So it hurts lessPara que me duela menos
I like it when you sayMe gusta cuando me dices
Damn, you're messing with meBoluda me estás jodiendo

Why youPor qué tú
With that dance in your wordsCon ese baile en tus palabras
YouTú

I've folded two pairs of kissesYa he doblado dos pares de besos
I take them with me as Sabina saysMe los llevo como dice Sabina
Your streets intoxicate me, I get lost with youMe emborrachan tus calles, me pierdo contigo
Singing Zamba through buleríasCantando Zamba por bulerías

Taking Sole's hand to Abel's hat, the Tiger wounded meAgarrando la mano de Sole al sombrero de Abel, el Tigre me hizo herida
And pulling that red thread I found myself, but in another lifeY tirando de aquel hilo rojo me encontré a mí misma, pero en otra vida

It was youFuiste tú
It was youFuiste tú
Buenos Aires lifts my skirtBuenos Aires levantas mi falda
And climbs up my backY sube por mi espalda
An Andalusian tangoUn tango andaluz

It was youFuiste tú
It was youFuiste tú
It's time to say goodbyeYa es momento de la despedida
But don't cry for me ArgentinaPero tú no llores por mi Argentina

I confirmed dancing a tangoComprobé bailando un tango
That it's quite simpleQue es la mar de sencillo
To stop feeling like a swanDejar de sentirme cisne
The Duck was hiddenEl Pato estaba escondido

After Villa MaríaDespués de Villa María
And with Ricardo by my sideY con Ricardo a mi vera
I realized that having youMe di cuenta que tenerte
Is seeing your picture in my walletEs ver tu foto en mi cartera

Why youPor qué tú
With that dance in your wordsCon ese baile en tus palabras
YouTú

I've folded two pairs of kissesYa he doblado dos pares de besos
I take them with me as Sabina saysMe los llevo como dice Sabina
Your streets intoxicate me, I get lost with youMe emborrachan tus calles, me pierdo contigo
Singing Zamba through buleríasCantando Zamba por bulerías

Taking Sole's hand to Abel's hat, the Tiger wounded meAgarrando la mano de Sole al sombrero de Abel, el Tigre me hizo herida
And pulling that red thread I found myself, but in another lifeY tirando de aquel hilo rojo me encontré a mí misma, pero en otra vida

It was youFuiste tú
It was youFuiste tú
Buenos Aires lifts my skirtBuenos Aires levantas mi falda
And climbs up my backY sube por mi espalda
An Andalusian tangoUn tango andaluz

It was youFuiste tú
It was youFuiste tú
It's time to say goodbyeYa es momento de la despedida
But don't cry for me ArgentinaPero tú no llores por mi Argentina
