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
