Letra del Tango De todo te olvidas (Cabeza de novia)

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 lyrics of the Tango "De todo te olvidas (Cabeza de novia)"

Lately, girl, I’ve noticed you appear
paler and sadder… Tell me, what is wrong?
Your little face as white as a lotus,
and frankly, my dear, I just don’t know…
What sorrow weighs on you? Why don’t you laugh
with that lavish spread of silver and glass?
Your little mouth, where rubies once bled,
now twists into a grimace, signaling pain…

The piano is silent.
Your nimble hands
no longer play
the melancholy tango…
Sometimes I find you
a bit bitter,
crying, locked away,
in your room.
And I’ve noticed, puzzled,
that very often,
“you forget everything,”
head of a bride,
haloed in love!

What’s the matter? Tell me; I beg you
to confide your worries to me…
Perhaps your sorrow is the one Carriego,
in rhyming quartets, shared with everyone.
“You forget everything, head of a bride,”
thinking of the boy who in your heart
with his kisses left his loving creeds,
like an offering of sweet passion…
