Lyrics
Español
Hoy, que no estoy, como ves, otra vez con un tango que no puedo gritar... Yo, que no tengo tu voz... Yo, que no puedo ya hablar... Mensaje con que mi vieja ternura de criatura te está prestando coraje... Yo, que a lo largo del viaje sufrí tus ultrajes en mi soledad... Nunca quieras mal, total la vida ¡qué importa! Si es tan finita y tan corta que al fin, el piolín se corta... No te aflija el esquinzao del dolor, y si el amor te hace caso, no le niegues tu pedazo de candor, que el lindo creerle al amor... Bueno y nada más, que siendo bueno, no hay odio, ni injusticia, ni veneno que haga mal... Y hoy, que no estoy me da pena no estar a tu lado, cinchando con vos... Vos, que me hiciste llorar... vos, que eras todo rencor... Mensaje... Mensaje con que te digo que soy tu amigo y tiro del carro contigo... Yo, tan chiquito y desnudo lo mismo te ayudo cerquita de Dios
English · machine translation
Today, that I am not here, as you see, again with a tango that I can't shout... I, who don't have your voice... I, who can no longer speak... Message with which my old tenderness of a creature is lending you courage... I, who along the journey suffered your outrages in my solitude... Never wish you ill, all in all what does life matter! If it is so finite and so short that in the end the bobbin is cut off... Don't be afflicted by the corner of pain, and if love heeds you, don't deny it your piece of candor, that the nice to believe in love... Good and nothing more, that being good, there is no hatred, no injustice, no poison that can do evil... And today, when I'm not here it makes me sad not to be by your side, riding with you... You, who made me cry... you, who were all rancor... Message... Message with which I tell you that I am your friend and I pull the cart with you... I, so small and naked I'll help you just the same close to God
