Desdichas

And if you see one nightY si ves alguna noche
between laughter and guffaw,entre risa y carcajada,
a sad milonguerauna triste milonguera
from a luxurious cabaret;de un lujoso cabaret;
remember that this poor womanacordate que esa pobre
has a shattered soul,tiene el alma destrozada,
that she doesn't dance out of joyque no baila de alegría
and laughs unintentionally.y se ríe sin querer.

If you see her corneredSi la ves arrinconada
remembering with sadness,recordando con tristeza,
the misfortunes of the past,las desdichas del pasado,
sad end of a passion;triste fin de una pasión;
surely on the whitede seguro que en el blanco
clothed table,mantelado de la mesa,
the vision of her manla visión de su pebete
comforts her in her pain.la consuela en su dolor.

Dance, dance, milongueraBailá, bailá, milonguera
the world doesn't careque al mundo no le importa
if you will cry.si vos llorarás.
Dance, dance, milonguera,Bailá, bailá, milonguera,
because look, the managerporque mira el encargado
is watching and can kick you out.y te puede echar.
