No fue Mimí, ni fue Manón
It was not Mimi, nor was it Manón
Fue una muchacha sin canción
She was a girl without a song
Cuando murió en mis manos
when she died in my hands
Ya era un paisaje muerto
It was already a dead landscape
Pueblo de pantanos
swamp town
Sin caminos y sin puertos
Without roads and without ports
Y atrás de un tul, siempre París
And behind a tulle, always Paris
Vendiendo azul lo gris
Selling blue the gray
El boulevard prieto de sol
The sun-drenched boulevard
Y para amar, alcohol
And to love, alcohol
Y la navaja del jornal
And the pocket knife
Un dólar tal más tierno que
Such a tender dollar
Y el agua baja del percal
And the water comes down from the calico
Y astral del cabaret
And astral of the cabaret
Y así el pernod y el strip tis
And so the pernod and the strip tis
- medio cocotte y actriz

Y los barbudos sin razón
And the bearded ones without reason
Y el mal de Koch, París
And Koch's disease, Paris
Siempre París para soñar

Siempre París para morir

Siempre París para rodar

Sin ser Manón ni ser Mimí
