Mi Noche Triste

My Sad Night

Mi Noche Triste

Lady who left me strandedPercanta que me amuraste
In the best of my life,En lo mejor de mi vida,
Leaving my soul woundedDejándome el alma herida
And a thorn in my heart,Y espina en el corazón,
Knowing that I loved you,Sabiendo que te quería,
That you were my joyQue vos eras mi alegría
And my burning dream,Y mi sueño abrasador,
For me there is no comfortPara mí ya no hay consuelo
And that's why I get drunkY por eso me encurdelo
To forget your love.Pa'olvidarme de tu amor.

At night, when I lie downDe noche, cuando rne acuesto
I can't close the door,No puedo cerrar la puerta,
Because leaving it openPorque dejándola abierta
I delude myself that you'll come back.Me hago ilusión que volvés.
I always have biscuitsSiempre llevo bizcochitos
To have with little mate teasPa tomar con matecitos
As if you were here,Como si estuvieras vos,
And if you could see the roomY si vieras la catrera
How it gets angryCómo se pone cabrera
When it doesn't see us both.Cuando no nos ve a los dos.

There are no longerYa no hay en el bulín
Those pretty little bottlesAquellos lindos frasquitos
Arranged with ribbons, Arreglados con moñitos
All of the same color.Todos del mismo color.
The mirror is fogged upEl espejo está empañado
As if it has criedSi parece que ha llorado
For the absence of your love.Por la ausencia 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.

The guitar, in the closetLa guitarra, en el ropero
Is still hanging:Todavía está colgada:
No one sings on 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.
