Tango Lyrics

Te acordas, Milonguita? Vos eras
la pebeta mas linda'e Chiclana;
la pollera cortona y las trenzas...
y en las trenzas un beso de sol...
Y en aquellas noches de verano,
que soñaba tu almita, mujer,
al oir en la esquina algun tango
chamuyarte bajito de amor?

Estercita,
hoy te llaman Milonguita,
flor de noche y de placer,
flor de lujo y cabaret.
Milonguita,
los hombres te han hecho mal
y hoy darias toda tu alma
por vestirte de percal.

Cuando sales por la madrugada,
Milonguita, de aquel cabaret,
toda tu alma temblando de frio,
dices:Ay, si pudiera querer!...

Y entre el vino y el ultimo tango
p'al cotorro te saca un bacan...
Ay, que sola, Estercita, te sientes!
Si lloras...dicen que es el champan!

Do you remember Milonguita? You were
the prettiest girl of Chiclana,
the miniskirt and the braids,
and in the braids a kiss from the sun.
And in those summer nights,
what did your little soul dream about, woman,
while listening to a little tango on the corner,
whispering you softly about love..?

Little Ester!
Today they call you Milonguita,
Flower of luxury and pleasure,
flower of night and cabaret.
Milonguita
Men have hurt you
and today you would give up your whole soul
to dress in percale.

When you get out in the early morning,
Milonguita, from that cabaret,
your entire soul trembling from the cold
says, "Oh, if I could love!"

And in between the wine and the last tango
a rich guy takes you to his pad...
Oh, how lonely little Ester you feel!
If you cry, they say it's because of the champagne!
