Paroles et traduction Roberto Goyeneche - Aquel Muchacho Triste

Aquel Muchacho Triste

Llegaste a este barrio aquella tardecita
Trayendo tu alegria como una bendición
Y nuestra muchachada, al verte tan bonita
Retuvo en sus pupilas tu magica visión
Los mozos más apuestos, tenorios insinuantes
Vertieron en tu oido ternuras sin igual
Ni te faltaron cartas rimadas y galantes
Desde el vulgar versito al fino madrigal
Y en las noches silenciosas
Al pie de tu humilde reja
Un cantor alzo las quejas
De sus penas angustiosas
Y su amoroso lamento
Iba volcando en el viento
Sus palabras armoniosas
Mientras que el grito de su alma
No heria la dulce calma
De la dueña de su amor
También vos palpitaste y un día conociste
La dicha más suprema: sentir una pasión
Y aquel muchacho bueno... tan palido... tan triste.
Quien sabe con que frase gano tu corazón!
Y viendo que hoy te casas, el barrio entristecido
Presiente que otra piba más linda no ha de hallar
Y aquellos que te adoran, al ver que te han perdido
Quien sabe cuantas veces tu ausencia han de llorar

That Sad Boy

You came to this neighborhood that afternoon
Bringing your joy like a blessing
And our boys, seeing you so pretty
Kept your magical vision in their pupils
The most handsome young men, insinuating womanizers
Poured tender words in your ear without equal
You also didn't lack rhyming and gallant letters
From the vulgar verse to the fine madrigal
And on silent nights
At the foot of your humble gate
A singer raised his complaints
Of his anguished sorrows
And his loving lament
He poured into the wind
His harmonious words
While the cry of his soul
Did not hurt the sweet calm
Of the mistress of his love
You also throbbed and one day you knew
The most supreme bliss: to feel a passion
And that good boy... so pale... so sad.
Who knows with what phrase he won your heart!
And seeing that you are getting married today, the neighborhood is saddened
Feeling that another prettier girl will not be found
And those who adore you, seeing that they have lost you
Who knows how many times they will cry your absence
