Lyrics

Español

Mañana de invierno, el sol se ha escondido, negando sus rayos acaso marchó. Hay lloros, lamentos, que habrá sucedido, que el alma porteña su temple quebró. Mañana de invierno que pones de duelo un alma en el cielo que Dios recogió. ¿Qué pasa?, pregunta anhelante la gente, la gente responde, Magaldi murió. “¿Por qué te fuiste hermano?” Ayer cantaste a Gardel, mas hoy, del enjambre humano, tu canto se fue tras él. Quebrose tu voz doliente, partió en pos de emoción, y la flor del dolor se deshoja sembrando congojas en mi corazón. En pos del cortejo, las voces de bronce de tus personajes, oraban por vos. Acaso “Un lamento”, “El penado catorce”, que en “Son de campanas” llamaban “Adiós”. “Dios te salve m' hijo”, tal vez murmuraron, en tanto que “Nieve” quebraba tu voz, cuando un crucifijo ceñiste en tus manos, cantándole al mundo tu último adiós.

English · machine translation

Winter morning, the sun has gone down, denying its rays perhaps marched away. There are cries, laments, what could have happened? that the porteño soul broke its temper. Winter morning that you mourn a soul in the sky that God gathered. What happened, people ask anxiously, people answer, Magaldi died. "Why did you leave brother?" Yesterday you sang Gardel, but today, from the human swarm, your song went after him. Your aching voice broke, left in pursuit of emotion, and the flower of pain leaves sowing sorrow in my heart. In pursuit of the procession, the bronze voices of your characters prayed for you. Perhaps "Un lamento", "El penado catorce", that in "Son de campanas" they called "Adiós". "God save you my son", perhaps they murmured, while "Snow" broke your voice, when you girded a crucifix in your hands, singing to the world your last farewell.
