Esta noche en Buenos Aires

Cheerful almanac, colorful signs,
bustling nights, smiling carnival,
today people will forget their pain
laughter and jingle bells will be in their hearts...
The dance has begun, the radio announces it
that brings everything closer, that overcomes distances,
and I am so alone here in this room
where everything is sad, where I suffer so much.

Tonight in Buenos Aires!....
Who will remember me
if the merry carnival
will take her to the ball?
Tonight in Buenos Aires!...
Little colored papers
even if she doesn't want to forget me
will cover her heart...

Today that the minutes fly from my life
today that I remember all my past,
evoking late the lost hours
I feel that I lived those hours dreaming...
The orchestra falls silent, the laughter dies down
they fade and return, just like my anxieties,
What a cold silence there is here in this room,
the same silence that envelops my soul!
