TANGO NEGRO (EN INGLES)

TANGO NEGRO (EN INGLES)
Letra de J. García
Traducido por Matt Curtis Waldroop

I watch life passing by and all its
enchantments,
and I feel not one illusión any more.
I can see only the black side of
things...
Black is the night now, at my heart's
very core.

That affection so deep and so
entrenched within,
which I've tried separating from my
soul in vain...
He is the only cause of every bit of
my despair.
He is the only cause of every bit of
my pain.

He played a black treachery on me...
To another his love he handed.
So blackly colored was his soul of
ice,
that my entire life he forever
branded.

My love was a voracious inferno;
it burned out all my life's
illusions.
Oh, black my destiny, so long a road
for me...
What an abyss is opening at my feet!

In a café on Centrica Avenida
he was dancing the tango and sighing
of love...
It was all in black, the way that the
woman was dressed,
and it made his perdition stand out
more.

Oh, black life, how very much I
detest you!
It is you who are the cause of his
foul taint,
because you contaminated him with mud
abundantly,
so that my heart in absolute
blackness he might paint!

He played a black treachery on me...
To another his love he handed.
So blackly colored was his soul of
ice,
that my entire life he forever
branded.

My love was a voracious inferno;
it burned out all my life's
illusions.
Oh, black my destiny, so long a road
for me...
What an abyss is opening at my feet!
