Cancion de Buenos Aires
Astor Piazzolla
Song of Buenos Aires
Buenos Aires when I saw myself far away,
I only found solace,
In the notes of a sweet tango,
That the bandoneon wept.
Buenos Aires sighing for you,
Under the sun of another sky,
How much my heart cried,
Listening to your nostalgic song:
Malevo song, song of Buenos Aires
There is something in your depths that I lived and endures,
Porteño song of bitterness,
Smile of hope, sob of passion.
That's the tango, song of Buenos Aires
Born in the suburb that reigns throughout the world,
This is the tango that I carry very deep
Embedded in the deepest part of the Creole heart.
Buenos Aires where the tango was born
My beloved land,
I wish I could offer you
With my soul in a song,
And I ask my destiny for the favor
That if at the end of my life
I hear the weeping of the bandoneon
Singing its nostalgic song:
Malevo song, song of Buenos Aires
There is something in your depths that I lived and endures,
Porteño song of bitterness,
Smile of hope, sob of passion.
