La Última Curda

The Last Drunk

La Última Curda

What a pity bandoneon, my heartLástima bandoneón, mi corazón
Your hoarse malevolent curseTu ronca maldición maleva
Your tear of rum takes meTú lágrima de ron me lleva
Towards the deep underworldHacia el hondo bajo fondo
Where the mud rebelsDonde el barro se subleva
I know, don't tell me you're rightYa sé, no me digas tenés razón
Life is an absurd woundLa vida es una herida absurda
And everything, everything is so fleetingY es todo, todo tan fugaz
That it's just a drunk, nothing moreQue es una curda, nada más
My confessionMi confesión

Tell meContame
Your sentenceTu condena
Tell me about your failureDecime tu fracaso
Don't you see the pain that has wounded me?No ves la pena que me ha herido?
And simply talk to meY háblame simplemente
About that absent loveDe aquel amor ausente
Behind a scrap of oblivionTras un retazo del olvido
I know it hurts meYa sé que me hace daño
I know it hurt youYo sé que te lastimó
Crying my sermon of wineLlorando mi sermón de vino
But it's the old lovePero es el viejo amor
That trembles, bandoneonQue tiembla, bandoneón
And seeks in the liquor that numbsY busca en el licor que aturda
The drunk that in the endLa curda que al final
Ends the showTermine la función
Drawing a curtainCorriéndole un telón
On the heartAl corazón

A little bit of memory and bitternessUn poco de recuerdo y sinsabor
Drips your slow grumblingGotea tu rezongo lerdo
Your liquor swirls and drivesMarea tu licor y arrea
The troop of the left-handedLa tropilla de la zurda
When pouring the last drunkAl volcar la última curda
Close the window, that drags the sunCerrame el ventanal, que arrastra el sol
Its slow snail of dreamSu lento caracol de sueño
Don't you see that I come from a countryNo ves que vengo de un país
That is always gray from oblivionQue esta de olvido siempre gris
After the alcoholTras el alcohol

Tell me your sentenceContame tu condena
Tell me about your failureDecime tu fracaso
Don't you see the pain that has wounded me?No ves la pena que me ha herido?
And simply talk to meY háblame simplemente
About that absent loveDe aquel amor ausente
Behind a scrap of oblivionTras un retazo del olvido
I know it hurts meYa sé que me hace daño
I know it hurt youYo sé que te lastimó
Crying my sermon of wineLlorando mi sermón de vino
But it's the old lovePero es el viejo amor
That trembles, bandoneonQue tiembla, bandoneón
And seeks in the liquor that numbsY busca en el licor que aturda
The drunk that in the endLa curda que al final
Ends the showTermine la función
Drawing a curtainCorriéndole un telón
On the heartAl corazón
