Lyrics

Español

La copa de alcohol hasta el final y en el final tu niebla, bodegón... Monótono y fatal me envuelve el acordeón con un vapor de tango que me hace mal... ¡A ver, mujer! Repite tu canción con esa voz gangosa de metal, que tiene olor a ron tu bata de percal y tiene gusto a miel tu corazón... Una canción que me mate la tristeza, que me duerma, que me aturda y en el frío de esta mesa vos y yo: los dos en curda... Los dos en curda y en la pena sensiblera que me da la borrachera yo te pido, cariñito, que me cantes como antes, despacito, despacito, tu canción una vez más... La dura desventura de los dos nos lleva al mismo rumbo, siempre igual, y es loco vendaval el viento de tu voz que silba la tortura del final... ¡A ver, mujer! Un poco más de ron y ciérrate la bata de percal que vi tu corazón desnudo en el cristal, temblando al escuchar esa canción...

The glass of alcohol to the end and in the end your fog, still life... Monotonous and fatal the accordion envelops me with a tango vapor that makes me ill... Let's see, woman! Repeat your song with that metal gangly voice that smells of rum your percale robe and tastes like honey your heart... A song that kills my sadness, that will put me to sleep, that will stun me and in the cold of this table you and me: the two of us in curda... The two of us in curda and in the sentimental sorrow that the drunkenness gives me I ask you, my darling to sing to me like before, slowly, slowly, your song one more time... The hard misfortune of both of us leads us to the same course, always the same, and the wind of your voice the wind of your voice that whistles the torture of the end... Let's see, woman! A little more rum and close up your calico robe I saw your heart naked in the glass, trembling at the sound that song...
