Milonga querida     Sweetheart milonga   Music: Juan Larenza Lyrics: Lito Bayardo Rec. by Juan D'Arienzo with Alberto Echagüe   Tr. Jake Spatz Recited 06 Dec. 2006, Divino Lounge   No la pintaron los poetas en sus versos seductores, ni conocieron su vida ni el amor de sus amores. Fue la más linda del barrio y por linda, codiciada, y más de cien entreveros su belleza provocó. Never did poets describe her in their seductive verses: none of them heard about her or about her life's great love. She was the hood's most lovely and was coveted for her beauty, and a hundred eyes were on her when her loveliness went by. Pero ella bien conocía quién en silencio la amaba y a nadie al fin comprendía pues con ninguno se daba; por verla sola, muy sola, mil comentarios se hicieron y difamaron su nombre al no conseguir su amor. But she was well aware of one who loved her in silence and nobody got the picture since she never had a guy; to see her all so single raised a thousand kinds of gossip, and her good name went to ruin as no one got her love. Aquel muchacho tan triste, tan humilde y tan sencillo, se fue en silencio una noche del alegre conventillo. Y aquella piba bonita por bonita codiciada, cargó una tarde sus cosas, y a su barrio no volvió. That one young man alone, humble and plain as he was, went out one night in silence from his lively tenement. And that charming little girl so coveted for her charms, she packed up her things one evening and left her hood behind. Table of Contents Questions? Comments? Email the Editor.
