Letra de Enrique Cadícamo
Música de Enrique Cadícamo
Dancing the tango is a sport
the night club, a fighting ring
where to copy a step
a man risks it all,
Hired dancing girl,
what is the sorrow in your soul
are you perhaps in love
or does the tango make you sad?
What are you thinking Milonguera…
does the bandoneón affect you,
or is the tango that you are hearing
talking to your heart?
Why do you bring the handkerchief
to your beautiful eyes
melancholic, crying…
why are you crying Milonga…
There is something that is yours in that tango
that your companion is singing
to make a buck…
How well she sings…one would say
that with a picturesque arrangement
the song is your own biography
the words of «Flower of the Mud»
And at the end of the song
the orchestra, invites us to dance…
dance, dear milonga
the boss is watching.
