Lyrics

Español

Hoy me llevó de la mano, como a un ciego, tu recuerdo, como al viajero perdido que no sabe regresar. Y allá en la última esquina del barrio lejano de nuestros amores, sólo encontró mi desolación tu nombre en el paredón. Yo no se por qué he vuelto, muchacha, al rincón del amor quinceañero, cuando era un gorrión esquinero sin miedo al hondazo brutal de la vida. Nuestro amor fue ese juego de ausencia, de esperar y llegar a destiempo y al volver ya no hallé tu presencia, tan sólo tu nombre gritando sin voz. La calle se hace camino que se pierde en la distancia, mi corazón andariego al camino volverá. Y allá, en la última esquina del barrio lejano de nuestros amores, grabé con llanto en el paredón que estás en mi corazón.

English · machine translation

Today it took me by the hand, like a blind man, your memory, like a lost traveler who does not know how to return. And there in the last corner of the distant neighborhood of our loves only my desolation found your name on the wall. I don't know why I've returned, girl, to the corner of fifteen-year-old love, when I was a corner sparrow unafraid of life's brutal slingshot. Our love was that game of absence, of waiting and arriving at the wrong time and when I returned I no longer found your presence, only your name shouting without voice. The street becomes a path that gets lost in the distance, my wandering heart will return to the road. And there, on the last corner of the distant neighborhood of our loves, I engraved with tears on the wall that you are in my heart.

Picked to show Maciel's voice used very differently than it later was with Pugliese, and Gobbi's more milonguero, classically-interesting style.

Dark and emotional Gobbi that Dag says reminds him more of Troilo than Pugliese; Maciel, later Pugliese's singer, sings with exquisite phrasing.
