“Rebeldía” by Miguel Caló y su Orquesta Típica with Raúl Iriarte in vocals, 1947 (with English translation).

Music & lyrics: Roberto Nievas Blanco / Oscar Rubens.

English translation:

With red hands squeezing my heart,
stifling a muffled cry of rancor.
Rebel like water in front of the fire,
like the sea against the rocks, today I rebel.
With your tyrant love who knows no reason,
rebellious with my own heart.
I ask you to go, to leave me,
that you walk away at once; it will be better!

I know I’ll cry later
I will never forget you.
I know that every night without your laughter, without your voice,
How much I will miss your love!
But it’s better to lose you,
than continue being a puppet
just to see you.

No, please leave me!
Today my love rebelled.

Without asking you for anything, I gave you my heart
in exchange for crumbs of your love.
I spent my heart and fortune
delivered to the madness of loving you so much.
But it was useless; I received contempt, falsehood, and humiliation in exchange for so much love.
So that’s why I’m asking you to go,
that you walk away at once, it will be better!

Nos-encontramos-al-pasar-vinyl-disc

Music: Raúl Kaplún. Lyrics: José María Suñé

We meet as we pass
You are the same, the same as yesterday,
There is anxiety in your eyes
And the same gray of dusk.

I know of a deathly sorrow,
That in your soul left
Terror of being able to love.
And it’s that deathly sorrow,
The cross of your love, you see
Wanted to separate us.
We meet as we pass by
and today like yesterday
I love you just the same.
Still the same as yesterday, your night
Shadow and pain of a memory,
I do not have a reproach,
If you are in hell
That could do more than me.
I always have that love
It was and is yours, all yours,
Your yesterday undone
It is so far,
It never comes back.
There is a past to forget
And a great pain, which must be killed,
There is another life to live
And there is this love which still lives in me.
We have a long way to go
That’s why my voice
It clings to your loneliness.
I seek in the shadow to frighten,
The voices of horror, which shake
Your nights of anxiety.
There is a life and a love,
That is in me
Same as yesterday.

"San José de Flores", Argentine Tango vinyl record cover.

“San José de Flores” by Osvaldo Pugliese y su Orquesta Típica with Alberto Morán in vocals, 1953.

Music: Armando Acquarone. Lyrics: Enrique Gaudino.

I’m sorry to see you today, Flores neighborhood,
corner of my games, cordial and happy.
Dear memories, love story
evoking a romance of endless bliss.

I was born in that neighborhood; I grew up on its sidewalks,
one day I took flight, dreaming of success;
and today, poor and defeated, loaded with sorrows,
I have returned tired from so much wandering …

Happiness and fortune eluded me,
shreds of scattered reveries I left;
and amid so many misfortunes and sorrows,
the blessed desire to see you again …
In strange lands, I fought with luck, straightforward I did not know how to lie,
and seeing me overwhelmed, poorer than ever,
I returned to my love looking to die.

I’d better never think about the return
if when I saw you again, I would start to cry.
My lips said, trembling in prayer:
This is not my neighborhood; it changed places! …
I’d rather stay, die on the trail,
if I have lost everything, neighborhood, and home …
Another wound does not make a dent,
it will be my destiny to roll and roll …

Music: Osvaldo Donato. Lyrics: Sandalio Gómez.

Sharpen this milonga
That has already started.
I felt that those bellows that grumble
From the heart.

And the girls have come
in “true Vuitton”.
Tango flatters life
And in his notes, he scatters
his love.

Cute tango from the suburb
That I,
I haven’t seen him pass out
Triumphed!

Cute tango that when singing
Overturned,
His faith, his love.
A man you have to be.

“Bohardilla” by Miguel Caló y su Orquesta Típica with Raúl Iriarte in vocals, 1944.

Music: Rodolfo Blasi. Lyrics: Horacio Sanguinetti.

“Joyful garret of Paris,
old memory and something gray
of those student years,
of dreamer and wanderer.

Who knows today where they will be
the companions of that yesterday
and that girlfriend of mine…
Strange memory…
the years go by
and I never forgot them.

An attic that was a poem
facing the waters of the Seine.
The snow that fell incessantly
painted a sad picture in the city.

And there, in the Latin Quarter,
the voice of an Argentine tango…
and those sad eyes of Mimi
crying the day I left.

That garret in Paris
it’s an old gray picture
that with pain I am looking,
because it is fading…

Those verses to Mimi,
sun and an April sky,
I keep remembering them…
Golden hair and blue eyes,
unforgettable for me.”
