Lyrics

Ya ves,
el día no amanece,
«Polaco» Goyeneche,
cantame un tango más.
Ya ves,
la noche se hace larga,
tu vida tiene un carma,
cantar, siempre cantar.
Tu voz,
que al tango lo emociona,
diciendo el punto y coma
que nadie le cantó.
Con tu voz,
con duendes y fantasmas,
respira tu en el asma
de un viejo bandoneón.
Canta,
garganta con arena,
tu voz tiene la pena
que Malena no cantó.
Canta,
que Juárez te condena
al lastimar tu pena,
con su blanco bandoneón.
Canta,
la gente está aplaudiendo,
aunque te estes muriendo
no conocen tu dolor.
Canta,
que Troilo desde el cielo,
debajo de tu almohada,
un verso te dejó.
Cantor, de un tango algo insolente,
hiciste que a la gente le duela tu dolor.
Cantor, de un tango equilibrista,
más que cantor artista, con vicios de cantor.
Ya ves, a mi y a Buenos Aires,
nos falta siempre el aire
cuando no esta tu voz,
a vos, que tanto me enseñaste,
el día que cantaste conmigo una canción.
Bis V a VIII.

Lyrics translation

You see,
the day does not dawn,
"Polish" Goyeneche,
sing me one more tango.
You see,
the night is getting long,
your life has a karma,
sing, always sing.
Your voice,
that the tango excites him,
saying the semicolon
that no one sang to him.
With your voice,
with goblins and ghosts,
breathe in your asthma
from an old bandoneon.
Sing,
throat with sand,
your voice is worth it
that Malena didn't sing.
Sing,
that Juarez condemns you
by hurting your grief,
with his White bandoneon.
Sing,
people are applauding,
even if you're dying
they don't know your pain.
Sing,
that Troilo from the sky,
under your pillow,
a verse left you.
Singer, of a somewhat insolent tango,
you made people hurt by your pain.
Singer, of a tango balancer,
more than singer artist, with singer vices.
You see, me and Buenos Aires,
we always lack the air
when your voice is gone,
to you, who taught me so much,
the day you sang a song with me.
Bis V to VIII.
