Текст и перевод песни Carlos Gardel - Mi Mocosita

Mi Mocosita

Vencido, con el alma amargada
Sin esperanza, hastiado de la vida
Sufre en su bulín el pobre payador
Sin hallar un consuelo a su dolor

Colgada de un clavo la guitarra
En un rincón la tiene abandonada
De su sonido ya no le importa nada
Tirado en la catrera, no hace más que llorar

Y en alguna ocasión
Sólo se escucha esta canción

Mi mocosita, no me dejes morir
Vuelve al cotorro, que no puedo vivir
Si supieras las veces que he soñado
Que de nuevo te tenía a mi lado

Mi mocosita, no me seas tan cruel
No me abandones, quiero verte otra vez
Mocosita, no me dejes
Que me mata poco a poco tu desdén

Dormía tranquilo el conventillo
Nada turbaba el silencio de la noche
Cuando se oyó sonar, allá en la oscuridad
El disparo de una bala fatal

Corrieron ansiosos los vecinos
Que presentían el final de aquel drama
Y encontraron, tirado en una cama
Entre un charco de sangre, al pobre payador

Pero antes de morir
Alguien le oyó cantar así

Mi mocosita, no me dejes morir
Vuelve al cotorro, que no puedo vivir
Si supieras las veces que he soñado
Que de nuevo te tenía a mi lado

Mi mocosita, no me seas tan cruel
No me abandones, quiero verte otra vez
Mocosita, no me dejes
Que me mata poco a poco tu desdén

My Little Snub-Nosed Girl

Defeated, with my soul embittered
Without hope, weary of life
The poor minstrel suffers in his hovel
Unable to find solace for his pain

Hanging on a nail, his guitar
Lies abandoned in a corner
He no longer cares for its sound
Lying on his cot, he does nothing but weep

And on some occasion
Only this song is heard

My little snub-nosed girl, don't let me die
Come back to our love nest, for I cannot live without you
If you knew how many times I've dreamt
That I had you by my side again

My little snub-nosed girl, don't be so cruel
Don't abandon me, I want to see you again
Little snub-nosed girl, don't leave me
For your disdain kills me slowly

The tenement slept peacefully
Nothing disturbed the silence of the night
When, in the darkness, there was a sound
The gunshot of a fatal bullet

The neighbors ran anxiously
Sensing the end of that drama
And they found him lying on a bed
In a pool of blood, the poor minstrel

But before he died
Someone heard him sing like this

My little snub-nosed girl, don't let me die
Come back to our love nest, for I cannot live without you
If you knew how many times I've dreamt
That I had you by my side again

My little snub-nosed girl, don't be so cruel
Don't abandon me, I want to see you again
Little snub-nosed girl, don't leave me
For your disdain kills me slowly
