Текст песни Malena

[Espanol]
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 alcoholo.
Malena canta el tango como ninguna…

Tu cancion tiene el frio del ultimo encuentro,
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.
Malena canta el tango con voz quebrada;
Malena tiene pena de bandoneon.

[English]
Malena sings the tango like no other

And in each verse she puts her heart.
Her voice perfumes [with the scent] of city yuyo,*
Malena has the pain of a bandoneon.*
Maybe during her childhood her voice
Of a lark took on this dark tone from the streets,
Or maybe from that romance
That she only names when she is
Sad with alcohol.
Malena sings the tango like no other…

Your song has the chill of a final encounter,
Your eyes are dark like oblivion,
Your lips tight like resentment,
Your hands two doves that have caught cold,
Your veins have the blood of the bandoneon.
Malena sings the tango with a broken voice;
Malena has the ache of the bandoneon.

*Yuyo is an herb.
*The bandoneon is a large accordion used in the Argentinean tango orchestra.
