Nostalgias

I want to drown my heart
To extinguish a crazy love
That more than love is a suffering
And here I come for that
To erase old kisses
In the kisses of other mouths
If their love was a 'one-day flower'
Why is that cruel concern always mine?
I want to raise my glass for both of us
To forget my stubbornness
And yet I remember her again

Nostalgias
To hear her crazy laughter
And feel next to my mouth
Like a fire, her breath
Anguish
To feel abandoned
And think that another by her side
Soon, soon will speak to her of love
Brother!
I don't want to lower myself
Nor ask her, nor cry to her
Nor tell her that I can't live anymore
From my sad loneliness, I will see
The dead roses of my youth fall

Moan, bandoneon, your gray tango
Perhaps you are hurt the same
By some sentimental love
My soul cries like a puppet
Alone and sad on this night
Black night without stars
If the drinks bring comfort
Here I am with my insomnia
To drown them once and for all
I want to drown my heart
So I can later toast
'For the failures of love'
