Lyrics
Español
Con la mueca del pesar; viejo, triste y sin valor... Lento el paso al caminar... Voy cargando mi dolor. Lejos de la gran ciudad que me ha visto florecer, en las calles más extrañas siento el alma oscurecer. Nadie observa mi final, ni le importa mi dolor... Nadie quiere mi amistad, ¡sólo estoy con mi amargor! Y así vago sin cesar desde el día que llegué cuando en pos de un sueño loco todo, todo abandoné... Y andando sin destino de pronto reaccioné al escuchar de un disco el tango aquel: "Mozo traiga otra copa" -que lo cantaba Carlos Gardel. Y al escucharlo recordé todo el pasado, los años mozos tan felices que pasé... Mi viejecita, la barra amiga... la noviecita que abandoné... ¡Tango que trae recuerdos! ¡Mi Buenos Aires... quiero volver! Buenos Aires, mi ciudad... ¡cuánto extraño tu emoción! Hoy que vuelvo a recordar se me parte el corazón... ¡Cómo pude yo dejar, cómo pude abandonar!, el calor de aquella tierra que me dio ternura y paz. La casita paternal que me vio feliz crecer, mi amorcito pasional y la barra del café; todo vuelve a resurgir en la dulce evocación y al pensar lo que he dejado se me escapa un lagrimón. Por eso, emocionado me ha hecho estremecer al escuchar de un disco el tango aquel: "Mozo traiga otra copa" -que lo cantaba Carlos Gardel. Y al escucharlo recordé todo el pasado, los años mozos tan felices que pasé... Mi viejecita, la barra amiga... la noviecita que abandoné... ¡Tango que trae recuerdos! ¡Mi Buenos Aires... quiero volver!

With the grimace of regret; old, sad and worthless... Slow as I walk... I go carrying my pain. Far from the great city that has seen me flourish.., In the strangest streets I feel my soul grow dark. No one sees my end, no one cares about my pain... No one wants my friendship, I am alone with my bitterness! And so I wander unceasingly since the day I arrived when in pursuit of a mad dream I abandoned everything, everything... And wandering without destination I suddenly reacted when I heard that tango on a record: "Mozo traiga otra copa" - sung by Carlos Gardel. And listening to it I remembered all the past, the happy young years I had spent... My old lady, the friendly bar... the girlfriend I abandoned... Tango that brings back memories! My Buenos Aires... I want to go back! Buenos Aires, my city... how much I miss your emotion! Today that I remember again, my heart is breaking... How could I leave, how could I abandon...! the warmth of that land that gave me tenderness and peace. The paternal house that saw me grow up happily, my passionate sweetheart and the coffee bar; everything comes back to life again in the sweet evocation. and at the thought of what I have left behind a tear escapes me. That is why, moved, it made me tremble listening to that tango from a record: "Mozo traiga otra copa" - sung by Carlos Gardel. And when I listened to it I remembered all the past, the happy young years I spent... My old lady, the friendly bar... the girlfriend I abandoned... Tango that brings back memories! My Buenos Aires... I want to go back!
