Nubes de Humo
Carlos GardelLyrics
Translation
Fume, compadre
Smoke, buddy
Fume y charlemos
Smoke and let's chat
Y mientras fuma recordaremos
And while you smoke, we'll remember
Que con el humo del cigarrillo
That with the cigarette smoke
Ya se nos va la juventud
Our youth is slipping away
Fume, compadre
Smoke, buddy
Fume y recuerde
Smoke and remember
Que yo también recordaré
That I will also remember
Con el alma la quería
With my soul, I loved her
Y un negro día
And on a dark day
La abandone
I abandoned her
Voy, sin poderla olvidar
I go, unable to forget her
Atormentado por la pena
Tormented by sorrow
Ella juró que era buena
She swore she was good
Y no la quise escuchar
And I didn't want to listen
De nada sirve el guapear
It's useless to act tough
Cuando es honda la metida
When the trouble is deep
Pobrecita, mi querida
Poor thing, my dear
Toda la vidala he de llorar
All my life, I will cry
Y ahora, compadre
And now, buddy
Arrepentido
Repentant
Quiero olvidarla y no la olvido
I want to forget her, but I don't
Si hasta parece
It even seems
Que ella se mece
That she sways
Entre las nubes de humo azul
Among the blue smoke clouds
Fume, compadre
Smoke, buddy
Fume y soñemos
Smoke and let's dream
Quiero olvidar mi ingratitud
I want to forget my ingratitude
Al ver hoy que, como el humo
Seeing today that, like smoke
Se desvanece la juventud
Youth vanishes
