Paroles et traduction Carlos Gardel - Y Reías Como Loca

Y Reías Como Loca

Yo te vi, mujer, aquella noche
En el turbio bodegón de la ribera
Entregarte de lleno, tal cual eras
De penas y alegrías, y dolores
A los tristes bandoneones del suburbio
Que en un tango lloraban sus amores

Yo te vi, mujer, aquella noche
Más pálida que nunca
Más triste y ojerosa
Y vi que tu vida estaba trunca
Y quemabas tus alas de linda mariposa

Y no sé, mujer, por qué
Si de coqueta o de nerviosa
De rara o vanidosa
Reías y reías como loca
Y sin darte cuenta tú
Que del tango en su agonía
Iba llevando en su triste melodía
El alma enferma de tu vida rota

Oh, mujer, que aquella noche,
En el turbio bodegón de la ribera
Reías y reías como loca
Sin saber que tu vida estaba rota
Y los tristes bandoneones del suburbio
Lloraban quizá tu último tango

Yo te vi, mujer, aquella noche
Más pálida que nunca
Más triste y ojerosa
Y vi que tu vida estaba trunca
Y quemabas tus alas de linda mariposa

You Laughed Like You Were Crazy

I saw you, woman, that night
In the murky tavern on the riverbank
Giving yourself completely, just as you were
Of sorrows and joys, and pain
To the sad bandoneons of the suburbs
That in a tango cried their loves

I saw you, woman, that night
Paler than ever
Sadder and more haggard
And I saw that your life was broken
And you were burning your wings of a beautiful butterfly

And I don't know, woman, why
Whether from being flirtatious or nervous
From being strange or vain
You laughed and laughed like you were crazy
And without realizing
That the tango in its agony
Was carrying away in its sad melody
The sick soul of your broken life

Oh, woman, that night,
In the murky tavern on the riverbank
You laughed and laughed like you were crazy
Not knowing that your life was broken
And the sad bandoneons of the suburbs
Were perhaps crying your last tango

I saw you, woman, that night
Paler than ever
Sadder and more haggard
And I saw that your life was broken
And you were burning your wings of a beautiful butterfly
