Malena (english)

Malena sings the tango like no one 

and in every single verse she pours her heart.. 

Like a slum weed her voice exudes. 

Malena has the broken heart of a bandoneón. 

Perhaps back in her childhood her larks 

voice acquired the dark intonation of a back alley, 

or maybe it is the romance she only names 

when she gets sad by the alcohol. 

Malena sings the tango with a somber voice;

 Malena has the broken€heart of a bandoneón. 

Your song has the cold of a last encounter, 

your song embitters with a salty remembrance. 

I don't know if your voice is the bloom of a broken heart; 

all I know's that thru the mutter of your tangos, 

Malena, I sense you are better, better than me. 

Your eyes are dark like the oblivion,

your lips pressed tight €in a grimace of€rancor your hands, 

two doves that endure the cold, your veins have blood of bandoneón. 

Your tangos are forsaken creatures 

that walk across the mud of a back alley, 

when all the doors are locked and howling 

are the spirits of the song. 

Malena sings the tango with a choking voice, 

Malena has the broken heart of a bandoneón.
