La cumparsita [English translation]

If you knew,

that still in my soul

I cherish that love

that I had for you...

Who knows, if you knew

that I have never forgotten you,

returning to your past

you would remember me...

My friends no longer come,

not even to visit me,

nobody wants to cheer me up

in my grief...

From the day you left

I feel pain in my chest.

Tell me, you bad woman, what have you done

to my poor heart?

However,

I always recall you

with the holy affection

that I had for you.

And you whole are

a piece of my life,

and for those eyes that were my joy,

I look for them everywhere,

but I'm unable to find.

To the abandoned flatlet

not even the morning sun

comes through the window

as it did when you were here,

and that doggy, that was my comrade,

that because of your absence was not eating,

seeing me alone, the other day

also left me...
