Carlos Gardel, tango by Herivelto MartinsCarlos Gardel, tango de Herivelto Martins
And David Nasser, who composed the lyricsE David Nasser, que compôs a letra
Especially for Carlos Gardel and meEspecialmente pra Carlos Gardel e para mim

Tango, bandoneon, a guitar that criesTango, bandoneon, uma guitarra que chora
In a rhythm of desperate loveNum ritmo de amor desesperado
A cabaret that closes its doorsUm cabaré que fecha suas portas
A street of love and sinUma rua de amor e de pecado

A guard watching on a cornerUm guarda que vigia numa esquina
A couple looking for a hotelUm casal que anda a procura de um hotel
A remnant of melody, a whistleUm resto de melodia, um assobio
An immortal longing, Carlos GardelUma saudade imortal, Carlos Gardel

Buenos Aires sang in its cornerBuenos Aires cantava no teu canto
Buenos Aires cried in your tearsBuenos Aires chorava no teu pranto
And it vibrated in your voice, Carlos GardelE vibrava em tua voz, Carlos Gardel

Your singing was the baton of a conductorO teu canto era a batuta de um maestro
That made hearts beatQue fazia pulsar os corações
In the bitterness of your melodiesNa amargura das tuas melodias

Carlos GardelCarlos Gardel
If you sang the tragedy of the lostSe cantavas a tragédia das perdidas
Understanding their livesCompreendendo suas vidas
You forgave his rolePerdoavas seu papel

So as long as there is a sad tangoPor isso enquanto houver um tango triste
A sucker, a cabaret, a guitarUm otário, um cabaré, uma guitarra
You will live too, Carlos GardelTu viverás também, Carlos Gardel
