Translation of the song Milonga sentimental artist Carlos Gardel

Milonga pa’ recordarte,

Milonga to remember

milonga sentimental,

Sentimental milonga

otros se quejan llorando,

Others complain, crying

yo canto pa’ no llorar.

I sing so as not to cry

Tu amor se secó de golpe,

Your love suddenly dried up

nunca dijiste por qué,

You never said why

yo me consuelo pensando

I console myself

que fue traición de mujer.

Thinking that it was woman's treachery

Varón, pa’ quererte mucho,

Man, to love you a lot

varón pa’ desearte bien,

Man, to want you so much

varón pa’ olvidar agravios,

Man, to forget all the wrongs

porque ya te perdoné.

Because I have already forgiven you

Tal vez no lo sepas nunca,

Perhaps you never knew

tal vez no lo puedas creer,

Perhaps you couldn't believe it

tal vez te provoque risa,

Perhaps it will provoke laughter

verme tirado a tus pies.

To see me thrown at your feet

Es fácil pegar un tajo

It's easy to hit out

pa’ cobrar una traición

To pay for a betrayal

o jugar en una daga

Or to gamble for a dagger

la suerte de una pasión.

The happiness of passion

Pero no es fácil cortarse

But it's not easy

los tientos de un metejón

For the touches of a crush to cut themselves

cuando están bien amarrados

When they are well tethered

al palo del corazón.

To the heart's mast

Varón, pa’ quererte mucho,

Man, to love you a lot

varón pa’ desearte bien,

Man, to want you so much

varón pa’ olvidar agravios,

Man, to forget all the wrongs

porque ya te perdoné.

Because I have already forgiven you

Tal vez no lo sepas nunca,

Perhaps you never knew

tal vez no lo puedas creer,

Perhaps you couldn't believe it

tal vez te provoque risa

Perhaps laughter would provoke you

verme tirado a tus pies.

To see me thrown at your feet

Milonga que hizo tu ausencia,

Milonga that your absence made

milonga de vocación,

Milonga of vocation

milonga para que nunca

Milonga so that they'll never sing it

la canten en tu balcón.

On your balcony

Pa’ que vuelvas con la noche

So that you return with the night

y te vayas con el sol,

And you leave with the sun

pa' decirte sí a veces

To say that yes, sometimes

y pa’ gritarte que no.

And to yell no to you

Varón, pa’ quererte mucho,

Man, to love you a lot

varón pa’ desearte bien,

Man, to want you so much

varón pa’ olvidar agravios,

Man, to forget all the wrongs

porque ya te perdoné.

Because I have already forgiven you

Tal vez no lo sepas nunca,

Perhaps you never knew

tal vez no lo puedas creer,

Perhaps you couldn't believe it

tal vez te provoque risa

Perhaps it will provoke laughter

verme tirado a tus pies.

To see me thrown at your feet

Ay, varón, pa’ quererte mucho,

Ay, man, to love you a lot

varón pa’ quererte bien,

Man, to love you so much

varón pa’ que tú me quieras,

Man, so that you'll love me

varón para ti mujer.

Man, for you, woman
