Pieza en forma de tango
Les Luthiers
Piece in the form of tango
When I arrive at the place you left
that evening of drinks and words
I remember the love you swore to me
and the kisses you gave me at night.
In the hours of drinking and bitterness
I wonder if your affection was real
and although I search in the embrace, there is none
who loves me like you did, like a child...
Why did you leave, mom???
with that unpleasant guy;
Why did you leave, mommy
leaving me in pain.
Why did you leave, mom
with that older man
why did you leave, dear mother
what does he have that I don't?
(DRAMATIC RECITATION)
Dear old lady: tell me, for God's sake, what have you given me, my heart is shattered,
as a little boy I watched you from outside... outside.
old lady, what nights filled with boredom... and cold.
On the corner of the blacksmith, the woman
hand in hand with silk and cotton
look at the muscle that never rests
from the foolish romance, vile money.
hookup, sly, handsome
cafes, suburbs, slums
tenements with tango laws
illusion of a sentimental gigolo.... them.
Why did you leave, mom??
you barely washed my clothes
why did you leave, mommy?
I rarely hit you
why did you leave, dear mother
why is mom not here anymore
there's only one mother, you're fed up and let me go
if you don't give me more money.....
if you don't give me more money
I'll go live with dad.
