Lyrics Translation of the Milonga Que no saque el tres

This is the translation of the Milonga “Que no saque el tres” from Spanish to English. The English lyrics of the Milonga “Que no saque el tres” have been done with AI.

Your love arrives late
in the afternoon with the drizzle,
and in the humble neighborhood grocery store,
gossip is stilled when you pass by.

Your love arrives late,
with a song of oblivion in your eyes’ slowly falling night,
and your pain of living, darling,
opens wounds to the sadness of the neighborhood.

By the light of a kerosene lamp,
once again you offer your unrealized dreams,
but on crossing the little square,
you faint from the dead scent of jasmines.

And drifting amid shadows,
without the Saint’s blessing nor rejoicing,
your pauper’s funeral slips by
– a rain-soaked alley’s sorrow.
