Aquel Muchacho Triste
Carlos Gardel
That Sad Boy
You arrived in this neighborhood that evening
Bringing your joy like a blessing
And our young crowd, seeing you so pretty
Kept in their eyes your magical vision
The most handsome, charming young men
Whispered in your ear unparalleled tenderness
You didn't lack rhymed and gallant letters
From the vulgar little verse to the refined madrigal
And in the silent nights
At the foot of your humble window
A singer raised the complaints
Of his anguished sorrows
And his loving lament
He poured into the wind
His harmonious words
While the cry of his soul
Did not disturb the sweet calm
Of the owner of his love
You also throbbed and one day you knew
The utmost happiness: Feeling a passion
And that good boy, so pale, so sad
Who knows with what words won your heart!
And seeing that today you are getting married, the saddened neighborhood
Foresees that another girl more beautiful will not be found
And those who adore you, seeing that they have lost you
Who knows how many times they will cry your absence
