Milonga Celestial
Roberto Mancini
Celestial Milonga
Last night in a sweet dream
I went to the heavenly gathering
To seek solace
For my porteño spirit
I put all my effort
To be able to rise
When I had to stop
Before a large steel gate
A Gatekeeper came out
Who began to interrogate me
What are you doing in these regions?
He said, somewhat annoyed
And I answered bewildered
I come in search of emotions!
If you don't have connections
Don't come to set up a brothel
Gardel is singing
In this Sacred Gathering
If you don't have a password
Ask him for permission
Among tuberoses and poppies
Carlitos was letting loose
He is accompanied by Pibe Ernesto
Greco, Pacho, Eduardo Arolas
Further back forming a line
Barbieri with Riverol
His role was so divine
And the echo so celestial
That it forced Elena Greco
To dance the canyengue in B flat
And when I returned to life
My eyes shed tears
Begging for that charm
The death so hidden
In my beloved guitar
I searched for the racial note
The sublime, spiritual
The pure of my dreams
To give the people of Buenos Aires
The celestial milonga!
