Paroles et traduction Carlos Gardel - Tu Vieja Ventana

Tu Vieja Ventana

Vine al pie de tu vieja ventana, mi bien
A ofrecerte, mi vida, este canto de amor
Porque quiero que sepas que te amo, mi ayer
Y te siento latir en mi fiel corazón

Yo quisiera, mujer, que comprendas
El cariño tan leal que te tengo
Que me paso las horas pensando
Y es esa la causa que yo ya ni duermo

He traído del campo estas flores que ayer
Arrancaron mis manos con ansia por ti
Porque quiero mirarte contenta, mujer
Y mostrarte que yo moriría por ti

Si un intérprete fueras entonces
Sentirías igual que yo siento
Un amor tan extraño y tan dulce
Que al no realizarse, sería un infierno

Asomá tu carita y no me hagas sufrir
Te lo pido por lo que más quieras, mi amor
Si al no verte sería capaz de morir
De cariño, quizás, o de extraño dolor

Los culpables han sido tus ojos
Y tus labios los cómplices fueron
Que me tienen igual que a un esclavo
Y soy, si se quiere, tu fiel prisionero

Your Old Window

I come to your old window, my love
To offer you, my life, this song of love
Because I want you to know that I love you, my yesterday
And I feel you beating in my faithful heart

I wish, woman, that you would understand
The loyal love that I have for you
That I spend hours thinking about you
And that is why I can't sleep anymore

I brought these flowers from the field that yesterday
My hands picked with longing for you
Because I want to see you happy, woman
And to show you that I would die for you

If you were a performer, then
You would feel the same as I do
A love so strange and so sweet
That if it were not to come true, it would be a hell

Show your little face and don't make me suffer
I beg you for what you love most, my love
If I could not see you, I would be capable of dying
From love, perhaps, or from strange pain

The culprits have been your eyes
And your lips have been the accomplices
That have me like a slave
And I am, if you like, your faithful prisoner
