Paroles et traduction Roberto Goyeneche - La Maleva

La Maleva

"Maleva, que has vuelto al nido
De tu garufa arrepentida
Ya no sos la mantenida
Que deslumbraba en el Pigall
Ya no tenés más berretines
De lujo y milonga
De vicio y placer
Volvés a tu vida primera
Y la milonguera
Vuelve a ser mujer
Tal vez algún día
Oyendo un tango malevo
Arderá en tu alma un deseo
Que matará el corazón
Vos, que siempre fuistes
La reina de los festines
Ya no querés copetines
Ni tangos de bandoneón
Y ahora, de nuevo en tu barrio
Y por todos respetada
Viendo tu vieja encantada
Con tu regeneración
Dentro de tu corazón
Has de pensar que el cariño
Tendió su manto de armiño
Para abrigarte mejor"

The Maleva

"Maleva, who have returned to the nest
Of your repentant garufa
You're no longer the kept woman
Who dazzled at the Pigall
You no longer have any berretines
Of luxury and milonga
Of vice and pleasure
You're returning to your former life
And the milonguera
Is becoming a woman again
Perhaps someday
Hearing a tango malevo
A desire will burn in your soul
That will kill your heart
You, who were always
The queen of parties
You no longer want copetines
Or bandoneón tangos
And now, back in your neighborhood
And respected by everyone
Seeing your old woman delighted
With your regeneration
In your heart
You must think that affection
Spread its ermine cloak
To shelter you better"
