Today, when I'm not hereHoy, que no estoy
As you see, once againComo ves, otra vez
With a tango I can't shout outCon un tango que no puedo gritar
I, who don't have your voiceYo, que no tengo tu voz
I, who can't speak anymoreYo, que no puedo ya hablar

With my old tendernessCon que mi vieja ternura
Of a childDe criatura
Is lending you courageTe está prestando coraje

I, who along the journeyYo, que a lo largo del viaje
Suffered your wrongsSufrí tus ultrajes
In my solitudeEn mi soledad

Never wish badNunca quieras mal
After allTotal
Life, who cares!La vida ¡qué importa!
It's so finite and so shortSi es tan finita y tan corta
That in the endQue al fin
The thread gets cutEl piolín se corta

Don't let the painNo te aflija el esquinzao
Get you downDel dolor
And if love pays attention to youY si el amor te hace caso
Don't deny it your pieceNo le niegues tu pedazo
Of kindness,De candor,
Because believing in love is beautifulQue el lindo creerle al amor

Well, and that's itBueno y nada más
That by being goodQue siendo bueno
There's no hate, no injustice, no poisonNo hay odio, ni injusticia, ni veneno
That does harmQue haga mal

And today, when I'm not hereY hoy, que no estoy
It makes me sad not to beMe da pena no estar
By your side, pulling with youA tu lado, cinchando con vos

You, who made me cryVos, que me hiciste llorar
You, who were all resentmentVos, que eras todo rencor
