Come have coffee with me in Buenos Aires...

Cuatro Palabras - 4 Words - Translation

Another great tango waltz, Juan D'Arienzo - 1941 - Hector Maure - Cuatro palabras. All translations are my own. This is such a fun waltz, typical that it is upbeat, while the words are so morose ;)

Night, without rest and without stars
You are the only one who listens to my song.

My hands no longer search for her hands
And only regrets exist in my heart.

Night, you wrap me in your shadow
I feel you getting into me more

My eyes, half closed
My lips name her
And my pains are nights for you. 

I could be happy, and I am
By my fault... ah
Like a joke of time gone by
Complaints that grow today
Wanting to relive the hopes in my heart

And to make me sadder still
In my cruel bitterness
In an envelope already faded
Your portrait with four words:
Love, I won't forget
