Lyrics

Español

Llueve... Llueve en el suburbio y aquí, solo en esta pieza, va subiendo a mi cabeza una extraña evocacion. Es la pena de estar solo o es la tarde cruel y fría que a mi gris melancolía la convierte en emoción... Aquí está mi orgullo de antes, bandoneón de mi pasado viejo amigo que he dejado para siempre en un rincón. En la tarde evocadora tu teclado amarillento está mudo y ya no siento tu lenguaje rezongón. Mi viejo amigo de entonces yo voy corriendo tu suerte. Las horas que hemos vivido hoy las cubre el olvido y las ronda la muerte... Mi bandoneón del recuerdo hoy como tú ya no existe, pues para siempre dejé en tu registro enterrado el corazón... Hoy la tarde está lluviosa, bandoneón, por los recuerdos, y es por eso que me acuerdo de mis tiempos de esplendor. Cuando alcé tu caja un día en un lírico arremango y ahí nomás me diste un tango, un gran tango ganador... Y otra vez cuando 'ella' estaba neurasténica y celosa con tu música gangosa la hiciste sollozar... Bandoneón de mis recuerdos. Viejo amigo envuelto en pena, esta tarde tengo ganas, muchas ganas de llorar.

English · machine translation

It rains... It rains in the suburb and here, alone in this room a strange evocation a strange evocation. Is it the pain of being alone or is it the cruel and cold afternoon that turns my gray melancholy turns it into emotion... Here is my pride of yesteryear, bandoneon of my past old friend that I have left forever in a corner. In the evocative afternoon your yellowish keyboard is mute and I no longer feel your grumbling language. My old friend of that time I'm running your fate. The hours we have lived today are covered by oblivion and death is around them... My bandoneon of memory today like you no longer exists for I left forever in your register buried the heart... Today the afternoon is rainy, bandoneon, because of the memories, and that is why I remember of my times of splendor. When I lifted your box one day in a lyrical roll up my sleeve and there and then you gave me a tango, a great winning tango... And again when 'she' was neurasthenic and jealous with your gangly music you made her sob... Bandoneon of my memories. Old friend wrapped in sorrow, this afternoon I feel like, I really want to cry.
