Español
Son cosas del bandoneón
que se ha puesto a rezongar,
no son mías las tristezas
de esta noche de champán...
No tengo que ocultar
ningún amor de ayer
ni tengo penas que desenterrar.
Si algún dolor está flotando sin querer
sépanlo todos, compañeros, que…
son cosas del bandoneón,
que por gusto, nada más,
esta noche de verbena,
se le ha dado por llorar.
(Instrumental)
Bandoneón de triste rezongar:
tu lamento me hace mal,
bandoneón, tu funeral compás
es un réquiem compadrón…
Hay que reír… Hay que cantar…
Mejor será mentir nuestro penar…
Yo, como vos… sufro también,
hermano bandoneón, no llores más…
(Instrumental)
English
It's bandoneon's business
that it decided to grumble
it's not mine those sadness
in this night of champagne...
I don't have to hide
any of the loves from yesterday
I don't have any sorrow to bury.
If any pain is floating without intention
knowing everything, my fellows, that
it's bandoneon's business
for it's likings, nothing more,
this night of festival,
it decided to cry.
(Instrumental)
Bandoneon of sad grumbling
your lament makes me feel bad
Bandoneon, your funeral beat
is a compadre's requiem...
One has to laugh, one has to sing,
It'll be better to lie about our agony..
I, like you, also suffer
my brother bandoneon, don't cry anymore.
(Instrumental)
