Lyrics
Español
No me lo digas... Lo veo en tu mirada Que ha muerto tu cariño Que ya no queda nada... No me lo digas... Ahorremos la torpeza De dar explicaciones Que llenan de tristeza... Es preferible, si el desamor asedia Cubrir con velos de olvido el corazón, Evitaremos así que la tragedia Se filtre en nuestras almas Como una maldición. Yo comprendo que todo acabó Que es inútil nuestro engaño, El amor que sentimos murió Y hoy ya somos dos extraños. De qué vale seguir, si al final Hallaremos más grotesco el adiós, Olvidemos que ayer Fue el embrujo de amor El querer de los dos... No me lo digas... Mejor que tus sonrojos Lo está gritando tu alma Sonriéndote en los ojos... No me lo digas... Cualquier palabra tuya Sería en este instante Un grito de aleluya... Otros amores llegaron con su aurora A nuestras vidas trayendo un nuevo Edén, Sin un reproche, por sendas bien distintas Vos te marchás ahora Y yo me iré también.

Don't tell me... I see it in your eyes That your love has died That there's nothing left... Don't tell me... Let's save ourselves the awkwardness Of giving explanations That fill you with sadness... It is preferable, if lovelessness assaults To cover the heart with veils of oblivion, We will thus prevent the tragedy From seeping into our souls Like a curse. I understand that it's all over That our deceit is useless, The love we felt is dead And today we are two strangers. What's the use of going on, if in the end We'll find the goodbye more grotesque, Let's forget that yesterday It was the spell of love The love of both of us... Don't tell me... Better than your blushes Your soul is shouting it out Smiling in your eyes... Don't tell me... Any word from you Would be at this instant A shout of hallelujah... Other loves came with their dawn To our lives bringing a new Eden, Without a reproach, by very different paths... You are leaving now And I will go too.

In their words
En la clase me dice: 'no digas eso, que queda feo; no hagas así, que la gente...' Y la gente, en general, del tango, se queja de lo que hacen los chicos.
