Lyrics

Español

En tanto en las calles, París se reía Luciendo su traje de luz y color, Un copo de nieve, cayendo en tu lecho Mi fiel compañera, tus sienes rozó. El viejo Montmartre vestía de fiesta Y Momo cantaba, borracho de alcohol, Matracas, sirenas, piropos y brindis Y adentro, la muerte, llevándote a vos. Pensé en Buenos Aires Que fue nuestra cuna, Ciudad que una noche Dejamos los dos. La luna rielaba Su luz sobre el río, Y a playas de ensueño La nave zarpó. Las últimas luces Miramos, del puerto, Perderse en la noche Como una visión. Y allí, junto al muelle Tu vieja y la mía, Ahogando en sollozos El último adiós. En cambio hoy mi alma se viste de luto La “blanca señora”, tus labios selló, Rompiéndose el sonoro cristal de tu risa Y junto a tu lecho mordí mi dolor. Afuera seguía dios Momo, cantando Repleta su copa de rojo licor, Matracas y risas, piropos y brindis Y adentro, la muerte, llevándote a vos.

While in the streets, Paris was laughing Wearing her costume of light and color, A snowflake, falling on your bed My faithful companion, your temples brushed. Old Montmartre was dressed for a party And Momo sang, drunk with alcohol, Matracas, sirens, compliments and toasts. And inside, death, carrying you away. I thought of Buenos Aires That was our cradle, City that one night We both left. The moon shimmered Its light on the river, And to dreamy shores The ship set sail. The last lights We watched, from the harbor, Lost in the night Like a vision. And there, by the quay Your old woman and mine, Drowning in sobs The last goodbye. Instead today my soul is dressed in mourning The "white lady", your lips sealed, Shattering the sonorous crystal of your laughter. And next to your bed I bit my pain. Outside, God Momo was still outside, singing Filled his glass with red liquor, Matracas and laughter, compliments and toasts. And inside, death, taking you away.
