The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "La Maleva" by Roberto Goyeneche.
Lyrics
«Maleva, que has vuelto al nido
de tu garufa arrepentida,
ya no sos la mantenida
que deslumbraba en el Pigall.
Ya no tenés más berretines
de lujo y milonga,
de vicio y placer.
Volvés a tu vida primera
y la milonguera
vuelve a ser mujer.
Tal vez algún día,
oyendo un tango malevo,
arderá en tu alma un deseo
que matará el corazón.
Vos, que siempre fuistes
la reina de los festines,
ya no querés copetines
ni tangos de bandoneón.
Y ahora, de nuevo en tu barrio
y por todos respetada,
viendo tu vieja encantada
con tu regeneración,
dentro de tu corazón
has de pensar que el cariño
tendió su manto de armiño
para abrigarte mejor"
Lyrics translation
"Maleva, you're back in the nest
from your sorry garufa,
you're no longer the one being kept.
that dazzled in the Pigall.
You don't have any more Berets.
luxury and milonga,
of VICE and pleasure.
Go back to your first life
and the milonguera
she's a woman again.
Maybe someday,
listening to a malevo tango,
a desire will burn in your soul
that will kill the heart.
You, who always were
the Queen of feasts,
you don't want any friends anymore.
no bandoneon tangos.
And now, back in your neighborhood
and respected by all,
seeing your old Charmed
with your feedback,
inside your heart
you must think that love
she stretched out her ermine robe
to keep you warm"
