Letra de Homero Manzi
Lyrics by Homero Manzi
Milonga pa' recordarte.
Milonga pa' remember you.
Milonga sentimental.
Sentimental milonga.
Otros se quejan llorando
Others complain in tears
yo canto pa' no llorar.
I sing not to cry.
Tu amor se seco de golpe
Your love dries up all at once
nunca dijiste por que.
You never said why.
Yo me consuelo pensando
I console myself by thinking
que fue traición de mujer.
that it was betrayal of a woman.
Varon, pa' quererte mucho,
Varon, pa' quererte mucho,
varon, pa' desearte el bien,
man, to wish you well,
varon, pa' olvidar agravios
male, to forget grievances
porque ya te perdone.
because I already forgive you.
Tal vez no lo sepas nunca,
You may never know,
tal vez no lo puedas creer,
You may not believe it,
tal vez te provoque risa
Maybe it makes you laugh
!verme tirao a tus pies!
See me at your feet!
Es facil pegar un tajo
It's easy to stick a slash
pa' cobrar una traición
to collect a betrayal
o jugar en una daga
or play on a dagger
la suerte de una pasión.
The luck of a passion.
Pero no es facil cortarse
But it's not easy to cut yourself
los tientos de un metejon
The tientos of a metejon
cuando estan bien amarrados
when they are well tied
al palo del corazón.
to the stick of the heart.
Varon, pa' quererte mucho, etc.
Varon, pa' quererte mucho, etc.
Milonga que hizo tu ausencia.
Milonga that made your absence.
Milonga de evocación.
Milonga of evocation.
Milonga para que nunca
Milonga so that never
la canten en tu balcon.
Sing it on your balcony.
Pa' que vuelvas con la noche
Pa' que vuelvas con la noche
why te vayas con el sol.
Why you go with the sun.
Pa' decirte que si, a veces,
To tell you that yes, sometimes,
o pa' gritarte que no.
or to shout no.
