Lyrics
Español
Como quien se va Para no volver, Me miró al pasar Saludó y se fue. ¡No la he visto más!. Si me juró que su querer fue para mí Y yo le di mi corazón. ¿Por que razón me deja así? Era una criolla con tal luz en sus pupilas Que hasta el sol de pura envidia Se escondió más de una vez. Como quien se va Para no volver, Me miró al pasar Saludó y se fue. Me dejó un papel en que me dice así: “Si algún día las chismosas te quisieran hacer mal Porque no les dije nunca, qué dolencia llevo en mí, Diles que si son honrados, compadezcan mi pesar, Que me voy con un secreto que tan sólo sabe Dios Que te llevo en mi recuerdo y que espero tu perdón”. Hasta el barrio esta llorando como yo Ya no tiene quien le cante las milongas de arrabal, Ni le borde los dibujos de algún corte floreador, Que era el lujo de las hembras en el arte de bailar. Se me antoja que a las puertas Le han colgado algún crespón, Porque el barrio está muy triste Desde que ella lo dejó... Como quien va Para no volver, Me miró al pasar Saludó y se fue. ¡No la he visto más!.

Like someone leaving Never to come back, She looked at me in passing Said goodbye and went. I haven't seen her since!. If she swore to me her love was mine And I gave her my heart. What reason has she to leave me so? She was a criollo girl with such light in her eyes That even the sun, out of pure envy, Hid itself more than once. Like someone leaving Never to come back, She looked at me in passing Said goodbye and went. She left me a note that says: "If some day the gossips want to do you harm Because I never told them what ailment I carry in me, Tell them that if they're decent people, they should pity my sorrow, That I go with a secret only God knows That I carry you in my memory and that I hope for your forgiveness". Even the neighborhood is weeping like me It has no one now to sing it the milongas of the outskirts, Nor to embroider the figures of some flowering step, That was the pride of all the women in the art of dancing. It seems to me they've hung Some mourning crape on the doors, Because the neighborhood is very sad Since the day she left it... Like someone leaving Never to come back, She looked at me in passing Said goodbye and went. I haven't seen her since!.
