Garganta Con Arena

Throat with Sand

Garganta Con Arena

You see, the day doesn't dawnYa ves, el día no amanece
Polaco GoyenechePolaco goyeneche
Sing one more tangoCantate un tango más

You see, the night gets longYa ves, la noche se hace larga
Your life has a karmaTu vida tiene un karma
Sing, always singCantar, siempre cantar

Your voice, that thrills the tangoTu voz, que al tango lo emociona
Saying the semicolon that nobody sang to itDiciendo el punto y coma que nadie le cantó
Your voice, with goblins and ghostsTu voz, con duendes y fantasmas
Breathes with the asthma of an old bandoneonRespira con el asma de un viejo bandoneón

Sing throat with sandCanta garganta con arena
Your voice has the sorrow that Malena didn't singTu voz tiene la pena que malena no cantó
Sing, that Juárez condemns youCanta que juárez te condena
By hurting your sorrow with his white bandoneonAl lastimar tu pena con su blanco bandoneón

Sing, people are applaudingCanta, la gente está aplaudiendo
And even if you're dying, they don't know your painY aunque te estés muriendo no conoce tu dolor
Sing, that Troilo from heavenCanta, que troilo desde el cielo
Left a verse under your pillowDebajo de tu almohada un verso te dejó

Singer of a somewhat insolent tangoCantor de un tango algo insolente
You made people feel your painHiciste que la gente le duela tu dolor
Singer, of a tightrope tangoCantor, de un tango equilibrista
More than a singer artist with singer's vicesMás que cantor artista con vicios de cantor

You see me and Buenos AiresYa vez a mi y a buenos aires
We always lack air when your voice is not hereNos falta siempre el aire cuando no está tu voz
Your voice, that one day you taught meTu voz, que un día me enseñaste
The day you sang a song with meEl día que cantaste conmigo una canción
