Viejo Rincón
Carlos Gardel
Old Corner
Old corner of my first tangos
Where she told me she loved me
Hideout of a hundred fandango nights
That still live in my memory
Oh, alley of shady cafes
That were fathers of the bandoneon
Where will my tin garsonie be
Witness of my love and its betrayal?
Today I return to the neighborhood I left
And as I walk through it, it saddens me
I no longer have my dear mother
My ranch is in ruins; everything is over
Because I believed, foolish of me
I gave my whole life for her
Even my faith turned into ruins
And I only feel ruins beating inside me
The sway of a tango
Breathes life into a love
The sway of a tango
They betray us
When you break down in a sitting
Putting your face next to mine
I feel that in the fire of some tango
My blood will still burn
Old corner of shady cafes
That were fathers of the bandoneon
Where will my tin garsonie be
Bulin mistongo that was my downfall
From the bellows to the sound, a violin plays
In the stage of a tavern
And in a brothel around the corner
The fathers take advantage of the tempting tango
Why dream? Why did I return
To the alley of my desires
To relive the pain of those women
Their laughter, their caresses, the facade of their love?
The sway of a tango
Breathes life into a love
The sway of a tango
They betray us
