Translation

Milonga pa' recordarte

Milonga to remember you

Milonga sentimental

Sentimental milonga

Otros se quejan llorando

Others complain, crying

Yo canto pa' no llorar

I sing not to cry

Tu amor se seco de golpe

Your love dried up suddenly

Nunca dijiste por que

You never said why

Yo me consuelo pensando

I console myself thinking

Que fue traición de mujer

That it was a woman's betrayal


Varon, pa' quererte mucho

Man, to love you deeply

Varon, pa' desearte el bien

Man, to wish you well

Varon, pa' olvidar agravios

Man, to forget grievances

Porque ya te perdone

Because I have already forgiven you

Tal vez no lo sepas nunca

Perhaps you will never know

Tal vez no lo puedas creer

Perhaps you can't believe it

Tal vez te provoque risa

Perhaps it might make you laugh

Verme tirao a tus pies!

Seeing me thrown at your feet!


Es fácil pegar un tajo

It's easy to draw a knife

Pa' cobrar una traición

To settle a betrayal

O jugar en una daga

Or play with a dagger

La suerte de una pasión

The fate of a passion

Pero no es fácil cortarse

But it's not easy to cut

Los tientos de un metejon

The ties of a setback

Cuando estan bien amarrados

When they are well tied

Al palo del corazón

To the post of the heart


Varon, pa' quererte mucho, etc

Man, to love you deeply, etc

Milonga que hizo tu ausencia

Milonga that your absence made

Milonga de evocación

Milonga of evocation

Milonga para que nunca

Milonga so that never

La canten en tu balcon

They sing it on your balcony

Pa' que vuelvas con la noche

For you to return with the night

Y te vayas con el sol

And leave with the sun

Pa' decirte que si, a veces

To tell you that yes, sometimes

O pa' gritarte que no

Or to scream at you no
