Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Milonga pa' recordarte, milonga sentimental. Otros se quejan llorando, yo canto por no llorar. Tu amor se secó de golpe, nunca dijiste por qué. Yo me consuelo pensando que fue traición de mujer. Varón, pa' quererte mucho, varón, pa' desearte el bien, varón, pa' olvidar agravios porque ya te perdoné. Tal vez no lo sepas nunca, tal vez no lo puedas creer, ¡tal vez te provoque risa verme tirao a tus pies! Es fácil pegar un tajo pa' cobrar una traición, o jugar en una daga la suerte de una pasión. Pero no es fácil cortarse los tientos de un , cuando están bien amarrados al palo del corazón. Milonga que hizo tu ausencia. Milonga de evocación. Milonga para que nunca la canten en tu balcón. Pa' que vuelvas con la noche y te vayas con el sol. Pa' decirte que sí a veces o pa' gritarte que no.

Milonga to remember you, sentimental milonga. Others complain crying, I sing for not crying. Your love dried up all of a sudden, you never said why. I console myself thinking that it was a woman's betrayal. Man, to love you very much, male, to wish you well, man, to forget grievances because I have already forgiven you. Maybe you will never know it, maybe you can't believe it, maybe it'll make you laugh to see me lying at your feet! It's easy to take a slash to collect a betrayal, or play on a dagger the fate of a passion. But it is not easy to cut to cut off one's own tientos when they are well tied to the stick of the heart. Milonga that made your absence. Milonga of evocation. Milonga never to be sung be sung on your balcony. For you to return with the night and leave with the sun. To say yes sometimes or to yell no.

The leader is Francisco Canaro, 1933, with 90% of the 70 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.
14 more dances name this song but not which version, so no share counts them. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.
