Lyrics
De un tiempo a esta parte, muchacha, te noto
más pálida y triste... Decí ¿qué tenés?
Tu carita tiene el blancor del loto
y yo, francamente, chiquita, no sé...
¿Qué pena te embarga? ¿Por qué ya no ríes
con ese derroche de plata y cristal?
Tu boquita, donde sangraron rubíes,
hoy muestra una mueca, trasuntando un mal...

El piano está mudo.
Tus ágiles manos
no arrancan el tema
del tango tristón...
A veces te encuentro
un poco amargada,
llorando, encerrada,
en la habitación.
Y he visto, extrañando,
que muy a menudo,
"de todo te olvidas",
cabeza de novia,
¡nimbada de amor!

¿Qué es lo que te pasa? Cuéntame; te ruego
que me confidencias tu preocupación...
Acaso tu pena es la que Carriego,
rimando cuartetas, a todos contó.
"De todo te olvidas, cabeza de novia",
pensando en el chico que en tu corazón
dejó con sus besos sus credos amantes,
como un ofertorio de dulce pasión...
English translation
For some time now, girl, you've been getting paler and sadder
paler and sadder... Say, what's wrong with you?
Your little face has the whiteness of the lotus
and I, frankly, little girl, I don't know...
What sorrow is in your heart? Why don't you laugh any more?
with that waste of silver and crystal?
Your little mouth, where rubies bled,
today it shows a grimace, transpiring an evil...

The piano is mute.
Your nimble hands
do not start the theme
of the sad tango...
Sometimes I find you
a little bitter,
crying, locked up,
in the room.
And I've seen, missing you,
that very often,
"you forget everything",
bride's head,
head of love!

What is the matter with you? Tell me; I beg you
I beg you to confide in me your concern...
Perhaps your sorrow is what Carriego,
rhyming quatrains, told everyone.
"You forget everything, bride's head",
thinking of the boy who in your heart
left with his kisses his loving creeds,
like an offertory of sweet passion...
