Alguien Le Dice Al Tango

Tango that I have seen dancing
Against a yellow sunset
By those who were capable
Of another dance, the one with the knife

Tango from that Maldonado
With less water than mud
Tango whistled as it passed
From the driver's seat of the cart

Carefree and loose
You always looked straight ahead
Tango that were the joy
Of being a man and being brave

Tango that were happy,
As I have been too
As memory tells me
Memory was forgetfulness

Since that yesterday, how many things
Have happened to both of us
The departures and the sorrow
Of loving and not being loved

I may have died and you will continue
Bordering our lives
Buenos Aires does not forget you
Tango that you were and will be
