Trasnochando

Late night,
like every skull
who doesn't see what awaits him,
who doesn't know where he's going,
I rejected
your advice, good friend,
we were almost enemies
for telling me the truth.

You were always
my best companions
the milonguero boys
players and something more.
And with them
night after night I was wasted,
between drinks, dancing and partying,
this life that is going away.

Late at night I met
the woman you know,
I wouldn't want to repeat
what I told you last night.
Everything, everything I lost,
only of her I kept
that photo that is there
that I don't want to see anymore.
You who know everything,
tomorrow if you come,
keep that photo,
throw it away or tear it up,
it's all the same to me,
you do what you want,
I don't want to look at her anymore,
I don't want to look at her anymore, I don't want to think of her as she was.

They always come,
in my sleepless nights,
your words of comfort
to ease my loneliness.
I can no longer
react, I am defeated,
only in this way do I seek oblivion
in my eternal sleeplessness.

It's useless
to turn back on the road,
I'll have to follow the fate
of my departing life.
But brother,
I am grateful to you,
you see, my good friend,
there is no remedy for my illness.
