Lyrics

Translation

Y si ves alguna noche

And if you see one night

Entre risa y carcajada

Between laughter and guffaw

Una triste milonguera

A sad milonguera

De un lujoso cabaret

From a luxurious cabaret

Acordate que esa pobre

Remember that this poor woman

Tiene el alma destrozada

Has her soul shattered

Que no baila de alegría

She doesn't dance out of joy

Y se ríe sin querer

And she laughs unintentionally


Baila, baila, milonguera

Dance, dance, milonguera

Que al mundo no le importa

Because the world doesn't care

Si vos lloras

If you cry

Baila, baila, milonguera

Dance, dance, milonguera

Porque mira el encargado

Because the manager is watching

Y te puede echar

And he can dismiss you


Si la vez arrinconada

If you see her cornered

Recordando con tristeza

Remembering with sadness

Las desdichas del pasado

The misfortunes of the past

Triste fin de una pasión

Sad end of a passion

De seguro que en el blanco

Surely on the white

Mantelado de la mesa

Cloth of the table

La visión de su pebete

The vision of her sweetheart

La consuela en su dolor

Comforts her in her pain
