Pastillitas Del Olvido [English translation]

On a corner in my neighborhood

there's a store that sells some forgetting pills

The neighbors claim their effect multiplies

but I don't even want to try them

Forgetting pills, keep alive the memory

of the night I saw her dance

She moved like a madwoman, unstable and whimsical

and she was sad like my city, like my city

I, who gave you all my nights

with neither laments nor reproaches

I gave you, in the nights and days, my best melodies

in the most tremendous waves of my life

I await you still, I believe forgetting is a fantasy

And so, destined to suffer you like a madman forever,

inventing anything at all, to see you

In a corner of my memory, nights of

sadness, little glory, and loneliness remain

And in the space of the most golden years

your borrowed eyes fit, and a goodbye to forget

Forgetting pills, keep alive the memory

of the night I saw her dance

She moved like a madwoman, unstable and whimsical

and she was sad like my city, like my city

I, who gave you all my nights

with neither laments nor reproaches

I gave you, in the nights and days, my best melodies

in the most tremendous waves of my life

I await you still, I believe forgetting is a fantasy

And so, destined to suffer you like a madman forever,

inventing anything at all, to see you

I, who gave you all my nights

with neither laments nor reproaches

Dance your preferred milonga, which is still dark,

which dawns and finishes our life

I await you still, I believe forgetting is a fantasy

And so, destined to suffer you like a madman forever,

inventing anything at all, to see you
