Trovas
Carlos Gardel
Ballads
With your eyes shining
And your sultana-like demeanor
You pass by every morning
Clicking your heels nonstop
And, looking at you, I don't understand
How in your tempting lips
The soul of the suburb
Has poured its love
When your body moves
To the beat of a slow tango
You let your hair loose in the wind
With a charming air
And your throbbing body
Marks the slow accordion
While it falls faint
In the arms of your love
You are like this, divine light
From the neighborhood where you grew up
And everywhere you left
A piece of your being
Even when you speak, it seems
That you do it with the fire
Of Carriego's muse
And Yacaré's soul
I love you like this, rebellious
Like a wild torrent
And because your love and mine
Cannot be separated
So, when a pain invades you
Or some trouble overwhelms you
With the notes of my song
I want to console you
