La Rumba Del Sabor Amargo

The Bitter Flavor Rumba

La Rumba Del Sabor Amargo

That night was litAquella noche prendía
the air like a tear,el aire como un desgarro,
that 'tablao' was ignitedaquel "tablao" se encendía
just by looking at you.con tan sólo tú mirarlo.

Closed with an ovation of flowersCerró una ovación de flores
crimson and scarlet,encarnadas y bermejas,
and even jewels were throwny hasta joyas arrojaban
while they toasted from a tablemientras brindaban desde una mesa
as if having nothingcomo quien sin tener nada
leaving their breath in cheers.entre jaleos su aliento deja.

And the sun sank into its lethargyY el sol se hundía en su letargo
and the night awakened,y la noche despertaba,
I was a kid and yetyo era un chiquillo y sin embargo
my heart was poundingmi corazón retumbaba
when Bambino sang the rumbacuando Bambino cantaba la rumba
of the bitter flavor.del sabor amargo.

If love could turnSi pudiera convertirse
into a giften un regalo el amor
I would choose the formescogería la forma
of a jewel or a flower.de una joya o de una flor.

Don't look for anything more beautiful,No busques nada más bello,
it doesn't exist, have no doubt,no existe, no tengas duda,
because the most beautiful thingspues las cosas más hermosas
are forever or barely last,son para siempre o apenas duran,
because the most beautiful thingspues las cosas más hermosas
are forever or barely last.son para siempre o apenas duran.

And the sun sank into its lethargyY el sol se hundía en su letargo
and the night awakened,y la noche despertaba,
I was a kid and yetyo era un chiquillo y sin embargo
my heart was poundingmi corazón retumbaba
when Bambino sang the rumbacuando Bambino cantaba la rumba
of the bitter flavor.del sabor amargo.

And that night, when the spiritY aquella noche, que el duende
was invoked by a gypsy angel,lo invocó un ángel gitano,
hell turned into heavense hizo cielo el infierno
and by playing on impulsey al tocar por arrebato
the ephemeral with the eternallo efímero con lo eterno
touched with palms.entre palmas se rozaron.

And the sun sank into its lethargyY el sol se hundía en su letargo
and the night awakened,y la noche despertaba,
I was a kid and yetyo era un chiquillo y sin embargo
my heart was poundingmi corazón retumbaba
when Bambino sang the rumbacuando Bambino cantaba la rumba
of the bitter flavor.del sabor amargo.

So comfortable I drink,De tan a gusto que bebo,
so much I sip the glass,de tanto apurar el vaso,
so comfortable I drink,de tan a gusto que bebo,
taking such long sips,de dar los tragos tan largos,
I end up drinking the dregstermino bebiendo el poso
and a bitter taste remains.y se me queda un sabor amargo.
