Tango Lyrics

Sola, fane y descangayada
la vi esta madrugada salir de un cabaret.
Flaca, dos cuartas de cogote,
y una percha en el escote, bajo la nuez.
Chueca, vestida de pebeta,
teñida y coqueteando su desnudez;
parecia un gallo desplumao,
mostrando al compadrear el cuero picoteao.
Yo que se cuando no aguanto mas,
al verla asi raje, pa' no llorar.

Y pensar que hace diez años fue mi locura.
Que llegue hasta la traicion por su hermosura.
Que esto que hoy es un cascajo,
fue la dulce metedura donde yo perdi el honor.

Que chiflao por su belleza,
le quite el pan a la vieja,
me hice ruin y pechador.

Que quede sin un amigo,
que vivi de mala fe.
Que me tuvo de rodillas,
sin moral, hecho un mendigo,
cuando se fue.

Nunca crei que la veria en un requiescainpache
tan cruel como el de hoy.
Mire si no es para suicidarse,
que por ese cachivache,
sea lo que soy.

Fiera venganza la del tiempo
que le hace ver deshecho
lo que uno amo'.

Y este encuentro me ha hecho tanto mal
que si lo pienso mas termino envenenao
Y esta noche me mamo bien mamao,
pa' no pensar.

Lonely, ugly and all broken
I saw her this dawn coming out of a nightclub.
Skinny, a full yard long of neck
And a hanger by neckline under the chin.
Bowlegged dressed as a broad,
hair-dyed and flirting her nudity
looked like a featherless bantam
mockingly showing off her pecked hide.
I, that know when I am fed up,
Just run away from there trying not to cry.

I recall ten years ago, she was my craze.
I went far as to betrayal for all her beauty.
This, that now is an old wreck, was
my sweet at heart where I lost my dignity.

That crazy about her beauty,
I stole food from my mother,
I was mean and I was base.

I was left without a friend,
I lived a wrong and wicked life.
And she had me on my knees,
With no honor, just a beggar
When she left me.

Never I thought I?d see her in this way,
so cruel and bad as I saw her today
Tell me, shouldn?t I kill myself
thinking that for this old junk
I was left as what I?m now.

Ugly this revenge of time
that lets you see destroyed
the one you loved.

This meeting made me feel so bad
That if I think it through I?ll get poisoned ,
this night I?ll drink me out, thoroughly drunk
So I wont think.
