Héctor Marcó

Lyricist, singer, composer and actor (12 December 1906 – 30 September 1987)

After the first recording, I was in the studio, Di Sarli left the piano and told me:

“Congratulations. If you like we can be collaborators from now on”.

Since then there followed many songs together.

Among them “Nido gaucho”.

Guillermo Barbieri with Carlos Gardel and other musicians. Argentine Tango music.

Guillermo Barbieri

Guitarist, singer, lyricist and composer (September 25, 1894 – June 24, 1935)

Those were years of difficult rivalry in composition that Guillermo Barbieri triumphantly passed. Many of the tunes of Gardel’s songbook were also hits in the best tango orchestras of the period.

Because of all that was said, Guillermo Barbieri rightly deserves to be considered one of the most essential names in Tango.

Among his outstanding compositions, we like to mention “Rosas de otoño”.

Alberto Podestá, Argentine Tango singer.

Alberto Podestá

Singer and composer (22 September 1924 – 9 December 2015)

“One evening somebody brought me a business card, it had been handed to the waiter by a gentleman named Vázquez, that was Carlos Di Sarli’s agent. 

He wanted me to meet him at a nearby barroom after my show was over. 

In the beginning, I held it in my hands. 

As I realized I was creasing it, I put it into my pocket. 

Since the time the card was handed to me until the end of my performance that evening my body was shivering. 

But I swear that I sang as never before. 

Imagine, to have the chance of singing with Di Sarli before I was 18. 

It was like a dream come true!”

Music & Lyrics: José Bohr.

Every time I call you
they tell me: “She’s not here!”

What a strange case
Why will it be?
Would it be that your love
it moves away from mine,
could it be that my love
is getting you tired?
Every time I call you
with more anxiety,
every time that “no”
it’s more coldly …
It’s my fault,
I lived in another world
and now I wake up
to reality…

I love you,
I loved you
and I will love you…
In my arms
You swore me, eternal love…
There was no in the world
nothing but my love,
nothing but my caresses,
for you, I was your heaven…
You don’t love me,
you didn’t love me,
you won’t love me…
Like all,
your promises were vain…
You have forgotten a faithful love,
you have broken a heart
that today bleeds
to the beat of its pain.

Today, tomorrow,
every day,
always the same…
The one who makes wrong,
you know it well,
always pays…
So someday you too
you will blind yourself with a love
and in this world, for you,
there will be nothing…
Like me,
same as others,
you too,
toys we are
of the wheel of destiny…
At every moment you will call,
with crazy anxiety, you will ask,
and with “it’s not here” cruel
so they will answer …

Every time I call you
they tell me: “She’s not here!”

“Déjame no quiero verte más” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica with Alberto Podestá in vocals, 1947 (English translation).

“Déjame no quiero verte más” by Carlos Di Sarli y su Orquesta Típica with Alberto Podestá in vocals, 1947 (English translation).

Music: Francisco Canaro / Mariano Mores. Lyrics: Ivo Pelay.

Leave me, I don’t want to see you anymore,
let me try to live in peace.

Don’t say I’m already
drunk like yesterday,
more harm than alcohol
they made me the anxieties
and the sorrows of loving.
My glass is full
of oblivion and illusion
and in it I want to sink
my despair.

Leave me, seeing you hurts me,
leave me, I can no longer.

Dazzled I loved you
as you love once,
and your life and my love
in a dream I locked up.
And today you see,
but let me
I never want to see you again
let me try to live in peace.

The shadow of your eyes,
the red of your lips,
the fire from your arms
melt into wine
with flashes of dagger.
Useless is running away
of your fascination,
useless asking
my heart to forget.

Come here, I want to see you next to me,
kiss me, without you I don’t know how to live …
Kiss me heart, kiss me heart …
