Milonga to remember you 
Milonga pa' recordarte 

Sentimental milonga 
Milonga sentimental 

Others complain crying 
Otros se quejan llorando 

I sing not to cry
Yo canto pa' no llorar
Your love suddenly dried up 
Tu amor se secó de golpe 

You never said why 
Nunca dijiste por qué 

I console myself by thinking 
Yo me consuelo pensando 

That was betrayal of a woman
Que fue traición de mujer
Man, to love you a lot 
Varón, pa' quererte mucho 

Man, to wish you well 
Varón, pa' desearte el bien 

Man, to forget grievances 
Varón, pa' olvidar agravios 

Because I already forgave you
Porque ya te perdoné
You may never know 
Tal vez no lo sepas nunca 

Maybe you can't believe it 
Tal vez no lo puedas creer 

Maybe it will make you laugh 
Tal vez te provoque risa 

See me throw myself at your feet
Verme tirao a tus pies
It's easy to cut 
Es fácil pegar un tajo 

To collect a betrayal 
Pa' cobrar una traición 

Or play on a dagger 
O jugar en una daga 

The luck of a passion
La suerte de una pasión
But it's not easy to cut yourself 
Pero no es fácil cortarse 

The tientos of a metejón 
Los tientos de un metejón 

When they are well tied 
Cuando están bien amarrados 

To the stick of the heart
Al palo del corazón
Man, to love you a lot 
Varón, pa' quererte mucho 

Man, to wish you well 
Varón, pa' desearte el bien 

Man, to forget grievances 
Varón, pa' olvidar agravios 

Because I already forgave you
Porque ya te perdoné
You may never know 
Tal vez no lo sepas nunca 

Maybe you can't believe it 
Tal vez no lo puedas creer 

Maybe it will make you laugh 
Tal vez te provoque risa 

See me throw myself at your feet
Verme tirao a tus pies
Milonga that your absence made 
Milonga que hizo tu ausencia 

Evocation Milonga 
Milonga de evocación 

Milonga so that never 
Milonga para que nunca 

Sing it on your balcony
La canten en tu balcón
So that you come back with the night 
Pa' que vuelvas con la noche 

And you go with the sun 
Y te vayas con el sol 

To tell you yes, sometimes 
Pa' decirte sí, a veces 

And to yell at you no
Y pa' gritarte que no
Man, to love you a lot 
Varón, pa' quererte mucho 

Man, to wish you well 
Varón, pa' desearte el bien 

Man, to forget grievances 
Varón, pa' olvidar agravios 

Because I already forgave you
Porque ya te perdoné
You may never know 
Tal vez no lo sepas nunca 

Maybe you can't believe it 
Tal vez no lo puedas creer 

Maybe it will make you laugh 
Tal vez te provoque risa 

See me throw myself at your feet
Verme tirao a tus pies
