Текст и перевод песни Mercedes Sosa - Milonga por El

Milonga por El

Entre las luces del escenario
Se alza la firme sombra de un hombre
Que se revuelve entre las guitarras
Con voz de chelo y acento noble

Marca su gesto, brazo en el aire,
Un violín Becho que al amor nombra
Y en un adagio que lo estremece
Mezcla su sangre con la milonga

Su canto hiere, su canto manda,
Su queja es pura pero acompaña,
Corazón solo por el planeta
Sembrando flores en la tormenta

Y ya se enciende y es más gigante
La luz certera de su canción
Y su ternura dura y serena
Nos abre un surco en el corazón

Mientras lo aplauden él sigue quieto,
Guarda su cara de las sonrisas
Y no hay bordona que lo consuele
De sus amores, ni las cenizas

Milonga for Him

Among the lights of the stage
Rises the firm shadow of a man
Who moves among the guitars
With a cello voice and noble accent

His gesture, arm in the air, marks him,
A Becho violin that names love
And in an adagio that thrills him
He mixes his blood with the milonga

His song wounds, his song commands,
His complaint is pure but accompanies,
A heart alone on the planet
Sowing flowers in the storm

And now it ignites and is more gigantic
The precise light of his song
And his hard and serene tenderness
Opens a furrow in our heart

While they applaud him, he remains still,
He hides his face from the smiles
And there is no bass string that can console him
Of his loves, nor the ashes
