Tango Negro

I watch life and its charms go by
And I no longer feel any illusion
I just watch go by
The black things
Black is the night of
My heart
He thinks himself so manly and
Rooted that I can't
Separate him from my soul
He is the sole cause of
All my distress
He is the sole cause of
All my sorrow
He played me a black
Betrayal to another
Love he gave
So black was his soul
Of ice that stained my whole life
Forever
My love was a
Voracious hell that burned
The illusion of my being
Oh black destiny
Such a long path that
An abyss opens at my
Feet
It was in a cafe on a
Central avenue he
Danced the tango
Sighing love, he was as
Black as she dressed
And highlighted more his
Doom
Oh black life how
I detest you you are the cause
Of all his courage
Why did you put
The mud in abundance for him
To paint his heart black

He played me a black
Betrayal to another
Love he gave
So black was his soul
Of ice that stained my whole life
Forever
My love was a
Voracious hell that burned
The illusion of my being
Oh black destiny
Such a long path that
An abyss opens at my
Feet
