La Mimada - The Spoiled
/The lyrics to this milonga are perfect, for when we come back from the Quarantine. The milonga will “triumph again!”
You are the pretty milonga,
rhythmic, surly,
It’s your friendly notes that invite us to dance.
After so many years
that your rhythm isn’t heard,
Again you’re in fashion and they listen to you again.
Milonga, you’re from the time of the “corte” and the “quebrada,”
A bunch of kids danced you, with a military heel.
You’re again in the breach
with your familiar canyengue,
You didn’t lose the chance,
to bet your heart
and you triumphed again.
Sos la milonga linda
Cadenciosa, rezongona,
Son tus notas compadronas
Las que invitan a bailar.
Después de tantos años
Que tu ritmo no se oía,
Nuevamente estás al día
Y te vuelven a escuchar.
Milonga, vos sos del tiempo
Del “corte” y de la “quebrada”,
Te bailó la muchachada
Del taquito militar.
Estás de nuevo en la brecha
Con tu canyengue compadre,
No perdiste la ocasión,
De jugarte el corazón
Y volviste a triunfar.

You’re again in the breach
with your familiar canyengue,
You didn’t lose the chance,
to bet the heart
and you triumphed again.
