Me Gusta Cantar y Canto ((Milonga)

I like to sing and I singMe gusta cantar y canto
Although I know littleAunque es poco lo que sé
But I will put my heartPero el corazón pondré
And I advance to play the guitarY a bordonear me adelanto
I like to sing and I singMe gusta cantar y canto
It doesn't matter if I do it wrongNo importa que lo haga mal
If I know that everyoneSi yo sé que cada cual
Defends themselves in their own wayA su modo se defiende
And understands the guitarY a la guitarra la entiende
As soon as they start to tune itNi bien la empieza a templar

I never hesitateNunca me hice de rogar
When asked to singCuando a cantar me han pedido
And this I have learnedY esto lo tengo aprendido
From my journeyDe lo que llevo de andar
I consider that singingConsidero que cantar
Is the essence of feelingDel sentimiento es la esencia
It's love, in absenceEs del amor, en la ausencia
A remedy that soothes or healsRemedio que alivia o cura
And a piece of tendernessY un pedazo de ternura
From those who gave us lifeDe quien nos dio la existencia

I like from time to timeMe gusta de cuando en cuando
To get tangled in the stringsEnredarme en las bordonas
Even more, if my soul is sad¡Más!, si mi alma anda tristona
Or my heart is in painO mi corazón penando
I console myself by singingYo me consuelo cantando
And through singing I find lifeY cantando hallo la vida
Because through singing one forgetsPorque cantando uno olvida
Even if it's just for a momentAunque sea por un momento
Sorrows that are insidePesares que andan adentro
And are looking for a way outY andan buscando salida

There's something I owe to GodHay algo que debo a Dios
And that will never be repaidY que nunca estará pagao
It's the luck He has given meY es la suerte que me ha dao
To be just as I amDe ser así como soy
If I have to sing, here I amSi hay que cantar, aquí estoy
Without saying: 'it's worth so much'Sin decirles: "vale tanto"
Even if it's worth I don't know how muchAunque valga no se cuánto
Even if it were a fortuneAsí juera una fortuna
Because without any pretensionPues sin pretención ninguna
I like to sing and I singMe gusta cantar y canto
