Letra de Pepe Crow
Música de Carlos Gardel
letra original de Alfredo Le Pera
Oh! my beloved buenos aires
the moment I see you again
all sadness will be forgotten…
The corner lantern
in the street where I was born
became the witness
of our promises of love.
how sweet and lovely
was her face so close to me,
how warm the kisses
in the nights of mistery.
down by the alley
all the memories were born
of more romances
which are now forever gone.
a sudden promise… which never was
a teardrop clinging for a while
there in your eyes…
My buenos aires, my lovely city,
here I would love to end my life.
years I’ve been longing
for my returning and now I promise
never to part,
parade of memories in my mind
are present like a reminder
of my yesterdays.
frankly I tell you without my city
my life’s a pity… so I’ll stay.
There in my window
while I’m looking to the street
i see that flower
asking for a place to meet,
and when I meet her
once again I see her eyes,
tender and lovely
while we kiss with deep desire.
down by the alley
also memories were born
of more romances
which are now forever gone…
a sudden promise which never was…
a teardrop clinging for a while,
there in your eyes…
Oh! my beloved buenos aires,
the moment I see you again…
all sadness will be forgotten…
