The sad wine
Tango 1939
Music: Juan D'Arienzo
Lyrics: Manuel Romero
Friends say that my wine is sad,
that I no longer have the stamina for liquor,
that I'm a suitcase that can no longer resist
of the caña brava or the macho taste...
And the fact is that everything that exists has died already
and between drinks I want to kill my rancor...
I'm always drunk since you left,
I am always drunk... but it is of pain...
My friends,
I ask your forgiveness
if I am bitter and sad
you see me crying...
I want to tame my emotion
but I loosen up too
like every man.
Friends,
when you have a regret
in your heart, you can't help it,
it cannot be avoided
that the wine becomes heavy
and weeping
like the sad
fluttering of my song.
My friends say that I'm not the same,
that today as soon as I drink I don't want to talk,
to corner myself with my pessimism
and that they haven't heard me sing for a long time...
And they don't know that it's not the drink
but that I'm lacking air and light,
that in my soul I carry a bleeding wound
and I go through life carrying my cross...
