Cabecita Negra
Carlos Gardel
Black Head
Useless song, who are you singing for
If the girl no longer listens to your voice
Nor puts in her mouth the sweet ration
So that with your beak you can kiss her?
Shut up! Stop your sad warbling
Don't you see that your singing worsens this pain?
Shut up for a few days, maybe just a few
You will see the joy that awaits you afterwards
If destiny wants to bring me the ungrateful one
Continue with your chirping as long as you bring joy!
If instead it decides to hate me, no more
And she stays and doesn't return, then you will see
I'll open the cage for you, look for her in your flight
Tell that fool for whom you sing
Useless song, who are you singing for
If the girl no longer listens to your voice
Nor puts in her mouth the sweet ration
So that with your beak you can kiss her?
Shut up! Stop your sad warbling
Don't you see that your singing worsens this pain?
You will be like a child seeking union
And carrying a memory tied to forgiveness
And you return, like a triumphant one
A kiss on the beak and a bond of love
Shut up, don't sing, for I hear in your voice
A distant echo saying goodbye
The cage is open, spread your wings
And next to her ear, sing for the both of us
