Life is short
Tango (1941)
Music: Ricardo Tanturi
Lyrics: Francisco Gorrindo
Let's see guys, I want joy,
I want to be stunned, not to think.
Life is short and you have to live it,
leaving reality aside.
You have to forget about sacrifice,
that it costs so much to be, to have bread.
And in these nights of partying and laughter,
put on a new disguise for the soul.
Life is short and you have to live it,
tomorrow is not to be trusted.
If today the lie is called a dream
maybe tomorrow it will be the truth.
Life is short and you have to live it,
happy by the side of a woman,
that even if she lies to us, in front of her eyes,
there is more than enough reason to love.
