My Beloved Buenos Aires

Mi Buenos Aires Querido

My beloved Buenos Aires,Mi Buenos Aires querido,
when I see you again,cuando yo te vuelva a ver,
there will be no more sorrows or forgetfulness.no habra mas penas ni olvido.
The little streetlight where I was bornEl farolito de la calle en que naci
was the guardian of my promises of love,fue el centinela de mis promesas de amor,
beneath its restless little light, I saw her,bajo su inquieta lucecita yo la vi
my girl shining like the sun.a mi pebeta luminosa como un sol.
Today, as luck has it, I get to see you again,Hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver,
port city of my one true love,ciudad porteña de mi unico querer,
and I hear the lamenty oigo la queja
of a bandoneón,de un bandoneón,
inside my chest, my heart begs for freedom.dentro del pecho pide rienda el corazón.

My Buenos Aires,Mi Buenos Aires
flowering landtierra florida
where I will end my life.donde mi vida terminaré.
Under your protection,Bajo tu amparo
there are no disappointments,no hay desengaños,
years fly by,vuelan los años
pain is forgotten.se olvida el dolor.
In a caravan,En caravana
the memories passlos recuerdos pasan
like a sweet trailcomo una estela
of emotion,dulce de emoción,
I want you to knowquiero que sepas
that when I think of you,que al evocarte
the sorrowsse van las penas
of my heart fade away.del corazon.

The little windows of my backstreet,Las ventanitas de mis calles de arrabal,
where a young girl in bloom smiles;donde sonrie una muchachita en flor;
I want to see againquiero de nuevo yo volver a contemplar
those eyes that caress with their gaze.aquellos ojos que acarician al mirar.
In the most wicked alley, a song,En la cortada mas maleva una canción,
pleads its case with courage and passion;dice su ruego de coraje y de pasion;
a promiseuna promesa
and a sighy un suspirar
wiped away a tear of sorrow from that song.borro una lagrima de pena aquel cantar.

My beloved Buenos Aires...Mi Buenos Aires querido...
when I see you again...cuando yo te vuelva a ver...
there will be no more sorrows or forgetfulness...no habra mas penas ni olvido...
