Letra de Pepe Crow
Música de Contursi
Música de Castriota
Este hermoso tango que fué interpretado magistralmente por Carlitos,
será uno de los ocho tangos inmortales que se incluirán en la película
en Inglés…»Gardel…Gardel…». El libreto de esta pelicula fué
escrito por Pepe Crow y está basado en uno de los mejores libros
acerca de la Vida del Zorzal Criollo. «The Life, Music and Times of
Carlos Gardel» del notable autor Británico Simón Collier… Estos
tangos, iban a ser grabados por Frank Sinatra, quien fué un gran
admirador de Gardel. Existe la posibilidad que ahora los interpretes
sean otros exitosos cantantes Internacionales como Tony Bennett o
Charles Aznavour.
The moment I did surrender
my heart to you…I remember
with love and kisses so tender
you promised you never lied…
knowing that my heart was lonely
and your promises were only
an excuse to get my love…
and since then my heart is broken
and I find myself just walking
never knowing where to go.
In the room where we were lovers
on the floor…pillows and covers…
sweet mementos of our passion
memories which make me cry.
On the table there’s a picture
that reminds me of our future
which has now become a lie.
Half awake I hear your footsteps…
I always leave my door open,
assuming your heart is broken
and you’ll come back to my side.
I keep buying from the corner
every cake you used to order…
pie and «mate» to enjoy…
I can feel our bed complaining
it misses you every morning
‘cause she used to watch our joy.
I don’t see over your dresser
that feminine touch of beauty…
parfume bottles…tied with ribbons,
only a woman can display.
and the mirror…faithful witness
of your beauty and my sickness
is missing you night and day.
I remember in the evenings
all the poems and your singing…
the guitar now’s in the closet
no one else will sing or play.
Even the light on the ceiling
seems to be losing it’s power
every moment…every hour…
it’s a torture…I must say!!
The moment I did surrender, etc. etc.
