Lyrics
Español
Las ruedas embarradas del último organito vendrán desde la tarde buscando el arrabal, con un caballo flaco y un rengo y un monito y un coro de muchachas vestidas de percal. Con pasos apagados elegirá la esquina donde se mezclan luces de luna y almacén para que bailen valses detrás de la hornacina la pálida marquesa y el pálido marqués. El último organito irá de puerta en puerta hasta encontrar la casa de la vecina muerta, de la vecina aquella que se cansó de amar; y allí molerá tangos para que llore el ciego, el ciego inconsolable del verso de Carriego, que fuma, fuma y fuma sentado en el umbral. Tendrá una caja blanca el último organito y el asma del otoño sacudirá su son, y adornarán sus tablas cabezas de angelitos y el eco de su piano será como un adiós. Saludarán su ausencia las novias encerradas abriendo las persianas detrás de su canción, y el último organito se perderá en la nada y el alma del suburbio se quedará sin voz.
English · machine translation
The muddy wheels of the last little organ will come from the afternoon looking for the suburb, with a skinny horse and a lame man and a little monkey and a chorus of girls dressed in percale. With muffled steps he will choose the corner where moonlight and warehouse mingle so that waltzes dance behind the niche the pale marquise and the pale marquis. The last little organ will go from door to door until it finds the house of the dead neighbor, of the neighbor who got tired of loving; and there it will grind tangos for the blind man to cry, the inconsolable blind man of Carriego's verse, who smokes, smokes and smokes sitting on the threshold. The last little organ will have a white box and the asthma of autumn will shake its sound, and its boards will adorn the heads of little angels and the echo of its piano will be like a goodbye. The locked-up brides will greet his absence opening the blinds behind his song, and the last little organ will be lost in nothingness and the soul of the suburb will be voiceless.
