Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tango Negro by Alci Acosta from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Aturdido y abrumado por la duda de los celos
Dazed and overwhelmed by the doubt of jealousy
Se ve triste en la cantina a un bohemio ya sin fe
He looks sad in the canteen to a bohemian already without faith
Con los nervios destrozados y llorando sin remedio
With shattered nerves and crying hopelessly
Como un loco atormentado, por la ingrata que se fué
Like a tormented madman, for the ungrateful woman who left
Se ve siempre acompañado del mejor de los amigos
He is always accompanied by the best of friends
Que le acompaña y le dice ya esta bueno de licor
That accompanies him and tells him that the liquor is already good
Nada remedias con llanto, nada remedias con vino
You remedy nothing with tears, you remedy nothing with wine
Al contrario la recuerda mucho mas tu corazón
On the contrary, your heart remembers her much more
Una noche como un loco, mordió la copa de vino
One night like a madman, he bit the glass of wine
Y brilló un cortante filo, que su boca destrozó
And a sharp edge flashed, which his mouth shattered
Y la sangre que brotaba confundiose con el vino
And the flowing blood was confused with the wine
Y en la cantina este grito a todos estremeció
And in the canteen this cry shook everyone
No te apures compañero si me destrozo la boca
Don't worry mate if I destroy my mouth
No te apures que es que quiero con el filo de esta copa
Don't worry, what do I want with the edge of this cup?
Borrar la huella de un beso traicionero que me dió
Erase the trace of a treacherous kiss that he gave me
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota
Waiter, serve me the broken cup
Sírvame que me destroza esta fiebre de obsesión
Help me, this fever of obsession destroys me
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota
Waiter, serve me the broken cup
Quiero sangrar gota a gota el veneno de su amor
I want to bleed the poison of your love drop by drop
