Vamos, Nina
Astor Piazzolla
Let's Go, Nina
Don't be ashamed, Nina, no,
What shame will the scumbag
from that bar understand
that kicked and spat on you?
Pet the dog's lice
you have, and tell him
that among the filth you found
a friendly shoulder to die on.
Open your eye sockets wide,
throw
with a single brutal vomit
your loneliness and let's go!
Look how pretty you are
with your tenderness standing,
and you're not alone, Nina, no,
I'm with you.
Nina,
don't cry, bite your eyes,
grab my hands really tight,
if death comes, bring it on:
make it pay, by force and one by one
the happy days it owes.
My Nina,
with heads of doves
we will run until never
through the tomb of the beggar birds
who found the way out
and we will come out of the filth
jumping, transparent,
imperishable, let's go, Nina!
Let's go, Nina!,
let's run, my old lady, let's run.
If the wind tangles your rags,
if the cold chaps your legs,
don't loosen up, don't stop, don't turn back,
don't wait, don't whimper, run, run!
Don't be ashamed Nina, no,
no one really knows who they are.
Imagine if I am the god capable
of making a thousand loaves with one,
and you the crazy one who once
sprinkled her rags with alcohol,
and set herself on fire to not see
the departing presidents.
Look at me, sister, don't tremble,
don't be afraid to die,
the living hear their dead
and today, finally, they will hear us.
Look how beautiful
your dignity stands,
and you're not alone, Nina, no,
I'm with you.
Let's go, Nina!, let's go, Nina!,
don't loosen up, don't stop, don't turn back,
don't wait, don't whimper, run, run!
