Recordándote
Carlos Gardel
Remembering You
Indignant about the crap
You gave me so lousy
Honestly, I'm pissed off
And I will never forget
That one night, wasted
I swore I loved you
Much more than my own soul
And even more than my mother
You hooked up with the dude
This lowlife poet
And I swear, damn it
For having you, he changed
No more wandering verses
From my wandering muse
If it was the most divine verse
To carry you in my heart
In my nights of lyricism
Through the sad slums
I rhymed tender madrigals
That I plucked by your side
I put life in each stanza
My love, my peace, and joy
And the ineffable tenderness
Of your womanly soul
How many nights in my rant
Little poet's corner
A discreet tear
Furtively fell
I thought you were the verse
Most intense of my life
Because the wound still bleeds
That your spying caused me
Now that you know the secret
Of how much I've suffered
Tell me who has loved you
With more intense passion
And from the depths of your soul
Silent, cruel, and raw
The hurtful truth naked
This dude will tell you
