Abran Cancha - Francisco Canaro перевод на английский

Abran Cancha

Milonga del arrabal
Vos sos la mujer
Del tango celoso y triste
La que en una noche
De canyengue lo engrupiste
Al que ver tu cuerpo
Retobado de percal
Te llevó para el bulín
Te arregló al compás
Y así te llamó milonga
Ycuando aprendiste
El quebrao de meta y ponga
Te llevó pa'l cafetín.

Era la más preferida
De los barrios orilleros,
Pero vino un forastero
Que en tus notas se inspiró.
Te hizo un chamuyo de foxtrot,
Con acordes a derroche
Y en la penumbra de una noche

Del arrabal te piantó.

Milonga del arrabal,
Que al pobre gotán
Lo abandonaste de un pique
Con el berretín
De quererle dar un dique
Con tu gigoló
Anclando en la diagonal.
Y al ver que lo habías dejao
De bronca y dolor,
Se pilló unas cuantas copas
Se cachó un vapor

Y se fue derecho a Europa
Dejando un cartel sentao.

Era la más preferida
De los barrios orilleros,
Pero vino un forastero
Que te llevó para tu mal.
Y al ver que lleno de gloria
Volvió el tango con su acento
Te entró el arrepentimiento
Y volviste al arrabal.

Clear the Floor

Milonga from the suburbs
You are the woman
Of the jealous and melancholy tango
The one who in a night
Of canyengue you tricked
Who saw your body
Plump with percale
He took you to his hovel
He fixed you with beat
And called you milonga
And when you learned
The sharp staccato of meta and ponga
He took you to the cafe.

You were the most popular
In the outer neighborhoods
But a foreigner came
Who was inspired by your notes.
He charmed you with foxtrot's rhetoric
With chords in abundance
And in the darkness of a night

You left the suburbs.

Milonga from the suburbs
That quickly abandoned
Poor old tango
With your whim
Of wanting to give it a kick
With your gigolo,
Anchoring on the diagonal.
And when he saw that you had left him
Out of anger and pain
He pounded several drinks
Caught a steamer

And went straight to Europe
Leaving a poster behind.

You were the most popular
In the outer neighborhoods
But a foreigner came
Who took you, to your misfortune.
And when you saw that full of glory
Tango returned with its accent
You were filled with remorse
And you returned to the suburbs.
