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) "

For some time now, girl, I’ve noticed you
more pale and sad… Tell me, what’s wrong?
Your little face has the whiteness of a lotus,
and frankly, dear, I don’t know why…
What sorrow engulfs you? Why don’t you laugh
with that silver and crystal sparkle anymore?
Your little mouth, where rubies once bloomed,
now shows a grimace, reflecting a pain…

The piano is silent.
Your nimble hands
don’t play the theme
of the melancholy tango…
Sometimes I find you
a bit bitter,
crying, locked away,
in the room.
And I’ve noticed, wondering,
that very often,
“you forget everything”,
bride’s head,
haloed in love!

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