Lyrics
Milonga pa' recordarte,
milonga sentimental.
Otros se quejan llorando,
yo canto por no llorar.
Tu amor se secó de golpe,
nunca dijiste por qué.
Yo me consuelo pensando
que fue traición de mujer.

Varón, pa' quererte mucho,
varón, pa' desearte el bien,
varón, pa' olvidar agravios
porque ya te perdoné.
Tal vez no lo sepas nunca,
tal vez no lo puedas creer,
¡tal vez te provoque risa
verme tirao a tus pies!

Es fácil pegar un tajo
pa' cobrar una traición,
o jugar en una daga
la suerte de una pasión.
Pero no es fácil cortarse
los tientos de un metejón,
cuando están bien amarrados
al palo del corazón.

Milonga que hizo tu ausencia.
Milonga de evocación.
Milonga para que nunca
la canten en tu balcón.
Pa' que vuelvas con la noche
y te vayas con el sol.
Pa' decirte que sí a veces
o pa' gritarte que no.
English translation
Milonga to remember you,
sentimental milonga.
Others complain crying,
I sing for not crying.
Your love dried up all of a sudden,
you never said why.
I console myself thinking
that it was a woman's betrayal.

Man, to love you very much,
male, to wish you well,
man, to forget grievances
because I have already forgiven you.
Maybe you will never know it,
maybe you can't believe it,
maybe it'll make you laugh
to see me lying at your feet!

It's easy to take a slash
to collect a betrayal,
or play on a dagger
the fate of a passion.
But it is not easy to cut
to cut off one's own tientos
when they are well tied
to the stick of the heart.

Milonga that made your absence.
Milonga of evocation.
Milonga never to be sung
be sung on your balcony.
For you to return with the night
and leave with the sun.
To say yes sometimes
or to yell no.
