Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Vencido, con el alma amargada, sin esperanzas, saciado de la vida, solloza en su el pobre , sin hallar un consuelo a su dolor. Colgada de un clavo, la guitarra... en un rincón la tiene abandonada... De sus amigos ya no le importa nada... Tirado en la no hace más que llorar. En alguna ocasión sólo se escucha esta canción: 'Mocosita, no me dejés morir, volvé al , que no puedo vivir. ¡Si supieras las veces que he soñado que de nuevo te tenía a mi lado! Mocosita, no seas tan cruel, no me abandones... Quiero verte otra vez... Mocosita, no me dejes, que me mata poco a poco tu desdén.' Dormía tranquilo el conventillo, nada turbaba el silencio de la noche cuando se oyó sonar allá en la oscuridad el disparo de una bala fatal. Corrieron ansiosos los vecinos que presentían el final de aquel drama y se encontraron, tirado en una cama, en un charco de sangre, al pobre . Pero, antes de morir, alguien le oyó cantar así: 'Mocosita, no me dejés morir, volvé al , que no puedo vivir. ¡Si supieras las veces que he soñado que de nuevo te tenía a mi lado! Mocosita, no seas tan cruel, no me abandones... Quiero verte otra vez... Mocosita, no me dejes, que me mata poco a poco tu desdén.'
English · machine translation
Defeated, with a bitter soul, hopeless, satiated with life, sobs in his bulín the poor payador without finding any consolation for his pain. Hanging on a nail, the guitar... In a corner he keeps it abandoned... Of his friends he no longer cares for anything... Lying in the cot, he does nothing but weep. On some occasions he only listens to this song: 'Mocosita, don't let me die, go back to the cotorro, I can't live. If you only knew how many times I have dreamed that I had you by my side again! Snotty, don't be so cruel, don't abandon me... I want to see you again... Snotty, don't leave me, your disdain is killing me little by little.' The tenement slept peacefully, nothing disturbed the silence of the night when it was heard ringing there in the darkness the sound of a fatal bullet. The neighbors ran anxiously who sensed the end of that drama and found him lying on a bed, in a pool of blood, the poor payador. But, before dying, someone heard him sing like this: 'Mocosita, don't let me die, go back to the cotorro, I can't live. If you only knew how many times I dreamt that I had you by my side again! Snotty, don't be so cruel, don't abandon me... I want to see you again... Snotty, don't leave me, your disdain is killing me little by little.'
