Lyrics

Español

Debo alejarme de mis tierras tan queridas, Debo alejarme, sangrando el corazón, Como el poeta he de decir en mi partida Adiós Buenos Aires, amigos adiós. Noches porteñas que supieron de mi dicha, Mudos testigos hoy, de mi dolor, Cada rincón me trae algún recuerdo Todo, todo me habla de su amor. No sé que rumbos tomarán mis pasos, Lejos de esta tierra me lleva el destino, Yo tengo en el alma penas y fracasos Que olvidar quisiera por algún camino. Y si entre las brumas espesas de Londres O en la algarabía infernal de New York, Arranque esa pena que siempre se esconde Adiós Buenos Aires, amigos adiós.

English · machine translation

I must go away from my beloved lands, I must go away, bleeding my heart, Like the poet I must say in my departure. Farewell Buenos Aires, my friends, farewell. Buenos Aires nights that knew my happiness, Mute witnesses today, of my pain, Every corner brings me some memory Everything, everything speaks to me of your love. I don't know what direction my steps will take, Far from this land my destiny takes me, I have in my soul sorrows and failures That I would like to forget by some road. And if among the thick mists of London Or in the infernal hubbub of New York, I'll tear away that sorrow that always hides Farewell Buenos Aires, friends farewell.
