Tango Lyrics - Malena
Tango song of the month
Malena (1942)
From www.planet-tango.com
Malena canta el tango como ninguna
y en cada verso pone su corazon. A yuyo del suburbio su voz perfuma, Malena tiene pena de bandoneon. Tal vez, alla en la infancia, su voz de alondra tomo ese tono oscuro del callejon, o acaso aquel romance que solo nombra cuando se pone triste con el alcohol. Malena canta el tango con voz de sombra; Malena tiene pena de bandoneón. Tu cancion tiene el frio del ultimo encuentro, tu cancion se hace amarga en la sal del recuerdo. Yo no se si tu voz es la flor de una pena, solo se que al rumor de tus tangos, Malena, te siento mas buena, mas buena que yo. Tus ojos son oscuros como el olvido, tus labios, apretados como el rencor, tus manos, dos palomas que sienten frio, tus venas tienen sangre de bandoneon. Tus tangos son criaturas abandonadas que cruzan sobre el barro del callejon, cuando todas las puertas estan cerradas y ladran los fantasmas de la cancion. Malena canta el tango con voz quebrada; Malena tiene pena de bandoneon. |
Malena sings the tango like no one else
and in every single verse she pours her heart. Like a slum weed her voice exude Malena has the sadness of a bandoneon. Perhaps, back in her childhood, her lark’s voice acquired that dark intonation of a back alley, or maybe it is the romance she only names when she gets sad with the alcohol. Malena sings the tango with a somber voice; Malena has the sadness of a bandoneon. Your song has the cold of the last encounter, your song embitters itself with a salty remembrance. I don’t know if your voice is the bloom of a sadness; all I know that in the muttering of your tangos, Malena, I sense you are better, much better than me. Your eyes are dark like the oblivion, your lips, pressed tight in a grimace of rancor your hands, two doves that suffer the cold, your veins have blood of bandoneon. Your tangos are forsaken creatures that walk across the mud of a back alley, when all the doors are locked and the spirits of the song howl. Malena sings the tango with a choking voice, Malena has the sadness of a bandoneon. |
