Tomo Y Obligo

Carlos Gardel Carlos Gardel

I Drink and I Oblige

I drink and I oblige, have a drink
Because today I need to kill the memory
Without a friend, far from home
I want to confide my sorrow in your chest

Drink with me and today if it clouds
From time to time my voice when singing
It's not that I cry because she deceives me
I know a man shouldn't cry

If the grasslands could talk
That plain would tell you
How much I loved her
With what fever I adored her

How many times on my knees
Trembling I have knelt
Under the leafless tree where one day I kissed her
And today seeing her debased
Given to other arms
It was like a stab to me
And I was blinded by jealousy
And I swear I still can't convince myself
How I could hold back
And I didn't just kill her there

I drink and I oblige, have a drink
It's better not to talk about women
All, my friend, give very bad pay
And today my experience can affirm it

Take advice, don't fall in love
And if you have to face a setback
Be strong, suffer and don't cry!
Because a real man shouldn't cry

If the fields could talk
