La Tapera (Milonga)

The Abandoned House (Milonga)
A little pile of straw
Broken mud walls
And the edge of an old well
Is all that's left here
Overall, for an abandoned house
I ain't gonna start crying
There are so many forgotten ones
What does it matter if there's one more
A little pile of straw
That I'll never be able to forget
It almost seems unreal
That this makes me tear up
My childhood and my poor parents
Where I loved for the first time
If you hold so many memories
How could I forget you, abandoned house!
