Lyrics and translation Roberto Goyeneche - Che Bandoneon




Che Bandoneon
Oh, Bandoneon
El duende de tu son, che bandoneón,
Your melodious soul, oh bandoneon,
Se apiada del dolor de los demás,
Pities the pain of others,
Y al estrujar tu fueye dormilón
And as you squeeze your sleepy bellows
Se arrima al corazón que sufre más.
You draw near to hearts that suffer most.
Estercita y Mimí como Ninón,
Estercita and Mimí, like Ninón,
Dejando sus destinos de percal
Abandoning their cloth-like fates
Vistieron al final mortajas de rayón,
Were ultimately dressed in rayon shrouds,
Al eco funeral de tu canción.
To the funeral echo of your song.
Bandoneón,
Bandoneon,
Hoy es noche de fandango
Tonight is a night of fandango
Y puedo confesarte la verdad,
And I must confess the truth to you,
Copa a copa, pena a pena, tango a tango,
Drink by drink, sorrow by sorrow, tango by tango,
Embalado en la locura
I'm caught in a frenzy
Del alcohol y la amargura.
Of alcohol and bitterness.
Bandoneón,
Bandoneon,
Para qué nombrarla tanto,
Why mention her so much,
No ves que está de olvido el corazón
Don't you see my heart is filled with oblivion?
Y ella vuelve noche a noche como un canto
Yet she returns night after night like a song
En las gotas de tu llanto,
In the drops of your weeping,
¡che bandoneón!
Oh, bandoneon!
Tu canto es el amor que no se dio
Your song is the love that was never given
Y el cielo que soñamos una vez,
And the heaven we once dreamed of,
Y el fraternal amigo que se hundió
And the fraternal friend who sank
Cinchando en la tormenta de un querer.
Wallowing in the storm of love.
Y esas ganas tremendas de llorar
And that tremendous urge to weep
Que a veces nos inundan sin razón,
That sometimes overwhelms us for no reason,
Y el trago de licor que obliga a recordar
And the shot of liquor that forces us to remember
Si el alma está en "orsai", che bandoneón.
If our soul is offside, oh bandoneon.
