Letra de Pascual Contursi
Traducido por: TangoMan
Bandoneon of the slum,
old deflated bellows
I found you like a baby
that a mother abandoned,
at the door of a convent
without stucco on the walls,
under the light of a little lamp
that at night illuminated you.
Bandoneon,
because you see that I am sad
and I can no longer sing,
you know that I carry in the soul
branded pain
I took you to my room,
I cuddled you against my cold chest
I was also left abandoned in my digs
You haved wanted to console me
with your rasping voice
and your painful note
increased my illusion
