I was exploring the music of Fresedo, and of the singer Carlos Mayel, when I came by this song. Fresedo's music is always so sweet, which, as often in tango, belies the sadder or darker themes. 1940.

Glowing like a spring sun I found you
I went through life without feeling my heart
Then you lit it, and I threw it in your arms, with the promise of your love.
Who could imagine that the mouth that kissed
The cross of a promise, talking like that,
I drowned in the secret of its forgetting, where later, I lost myself.

If the heart knew...
that your kisses are not mine,
Better to die, I think
than to kiss your cold lips;
If the heart knew..
That from death you've hurt me,
Destroyed, and without rancor
I would only know to how weep with love.

Your eyes carry luminous desires to live...
Your lips, a caprice of the moment, well I know!
I carry the insupportable sadness of premonition

Of your steps walking away.
Come closer an instant, what deliriousness, if you are not here
My poor heart, don't be cruel, reanimate it!
In my heart, I'm asking you,
Once more, trick me for its sake.
