Lyrics and translation Carlos Gardel - Mano Mora

Mano Mora

Era buenmozo, valiente para cualquier entrevero
Seguro para el acero y firme para el amor
Las muchachitas del barrio, todas se lo disputaban
Y a Mano Mora clamaban, les brindara con su calor

Mano Mora no mentía, ni tenía falsedad
Para aquellos corazones sin nociones de maldad
Mano Mora por la vida más querida se perdió
Hoy su china sufre y llora, Mano Mora no volvió

Todo el suburbio callado desde que el mozo no existe
Solo un recuerdo muy triste de Mano Mora quedó
Las muchachitas del barrio, las que soñaron amores
Su tumba cubren de flores murmurando una oración

Mano mora no mentía, ni tenía falsedad
Para aquellos corazones sin nociones de maldad
Mano Mora por la vida más querida se perdió
Hoy su china sufre y llora, Mano Mora no volvió

Mano Mora

He was handsome, brave in any fight
Sure with the steel and firm in love
The girls in the neighborhood, they all fought over him
And they called out to Mano Mora, wanting him to give them his warmth

Mano Mora did not lie, nor did he have any falseness
For those hearts without notions of evil
Mano Mora lost himself for the most beloved in life
Today his sweetheart suffers and cries, Mano Mora did not return

The whole neighborhood is silent since the boy does not exist
Only a very sad memory of Mano Mora remains
The girls in the neighborhood, those who dreamed of love
They cover his grave with flowers, murmuring a prayer

Mano Mora did not lie, nor did he have any falseness
For those hearts without notions of evil
Mano Mora lost himself for the most beloved in life
Today his sweetheart suffers and cries, Mano Mora did not return
