Mala Suerte
Francisco Canaro
Bad Luck
Our love is over, you told me coldly
I thought to myself, maybe you're right
I thought about it and left you alone, alone and in charge of your life
While I, with my conscience, was playing with my heart
I closed my eyes tightly, and pressed my lips tightly
Not to see you, not to talk to you, not to shout goodbye
And slowly I walked to the bar on the corner
To drown with four drinks what could have been your love
I couldn't promise you
To change the life I lead
Because I was born a party animal
And that's how I'll die
I'm drawn to partying
Coffee, hanging out with friends
And wherever there's a tango
I can't help but go
You know well how I've been
You know well how I've thought
About my crazy restlessness
About my urge to roam the streets
Bad luck if I lose you today
Bad luck if I'm alone
I'm to blame for everything
Since I can't change
Because I know my life isn't a model life
Because whoever has a love, must give themselves to love
And I'm like the goldfinch, who even in a golden cage
In its song always cries out the desire to fly
I've had bad luck, but speaking frankly
I'm grateful to you, you've been a girlfriend and a woman
If life is to hurry me with hardships one day
You can be sure that I'll remember you!
