El Choclo - Nat King Cole перевод на английский

El Choclo

Con este tango que es burlon y compadrito
Se ato dos alas la ambision de mi suburbio
Con este tango nacio el cielo y con un grito
Salio del sordido barrial buscando el cielo
Conjuro extrao de un amor hecho carencia
Que abrio caminos sin mas ley que su esperanza
Mesclas de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo jugueton
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
Nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas y las grelas
Luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas
Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer
Al evocarte, tango querido
Siento que tiembran las baldosas de un bailongo
Y oigo el resongo de mi pasado
Hoy que no tengo
Mas que a mi madre
Siento que llega en punta e' pie para besarme
Cuando tu canto nace al son de un bandoneon...

El Choclo

With this tango full of mockery and street swagger,
The ambition of my poor neighborhood took flight.
With this tango the heavens were born, and with a cry,
It emerged from the squalid slums, reaching for the sky.
A strange charm, a love born of deprivation,
That opened paths without any law but its hope.
A fusion of rage, sorrow, faith, and yearning,
Wailing in the innocence of a carefree rhythm,
Thanks to your miracle of foreboding notes,
The "paicas" and "grelas" were born without a thought.
Moonlight in the puddles, "canyengue" in the hips,
And a fierce longing in the way of love.
When I remember you, beloved tango,
I feel the dance floor tiles tremble beneath my feet,
And I hear the echo of my past.
Today, I have nothing left
But my mother.
I feel her tiptoe in to kiss me,
When your song rises to the sound of a bandoneon...
