Volvió Una Noche
Carlos Gardel
She Returned One Night
She returned one night, I wasn't expecting her
There was so much anxiety on her face
That I felt sorry to remind her
Of her treachery and cruelty
She said humbly: If you forgive me
The old times will come back again
The spring of our lives
You will see that everything will smile at us
Lie, lie, I wanted to tell her
The hours that pass never come back
And so my love, linked to yours
Is just a ghost of the old past
That can no longer be resurrected
I kept my bitterness silent and had pity
Her big blue eyes opened wide
They soon understood my unheard-of sorrow
And with a defeated woman's grimace
She said: It's life, and I never saw her again
She returned that night, I never forget it
With a sad and lightless gaze
And I was afraid of that specter
That was madness in my youth
She left in silence, without a reproach
I looked for a mirror and wanted to look at myself
There were so many winters on my forehead
That she also took pity on
Lie, lie, I wanted to tell her
The hours that pass never come back
And so my love, linked to yours
Is just a ghost of the old past
That can no longer be resurrected
I kept my bitterness silent and had pity
Her big blue eyes opened wide
They soon understood my unheard-of sorrow
And with a defeated woman's grimace
She said: It's life, and I never saw her again
