La Copa Del Olvido
Carlos Gardel
The Cup of Forgetfulness
Waiter, bring another cup!
And serve something to whoever wants to drink
I am very lonely and very sad
Since I learned the cruel truth
Waiter, bring another cup!
Because last night, together, I saw them both
I wanted to avenge, I wanted to kill her
But an impulse calmed me down
I went out to the street bewildered
Not knowing how I got here
To ask the wise men
To ask them what I should do
Forget, my friend - some will say
But forgetting her cannot be
And if I kill her, living without her
Living without her I will never be able to
Waiter, bring another cup!
And serve something to whoever wants to drink
I want to cheer up with this wine
To see if the wine makes me forget
In vain I seek in other women
Sweet caresses to forget
And remembering that she doesn't love me
The feeling makes me cry
Waiter, bring another cup!
And serve something to whoever wants to drink
