DEAR ALBERTO: Firstly I have only now discovered your site and I would like to congratulate you on an excellent site and such well presented Lyrics in English and Spanish. As a dedicated tango dancer, having just returned from three months in Argentina dancing Tango, together with my passion for learning Castellano your translation is invaluable to me. I am searching for the lyrics of Lo Que Vos Te Mereces as it is a Tango that I love to dance to and I would like to feel the words in addition to the music. It was recorded by Anibal Troilo y his orquesta tipica. Title of CD – From Argentina to the World EMI 4 94432 2 Vocals by Roberto Goyeneche. Thank you again for your dedication and the richness of your site . Good luck and best regards. Roger Pointon-Bell

CASTELLANO

ENGLISH

¡Que querés, no te esperaba! Perdoname la franqueza porque desde que te fuiste no pensaba verte más. Y hoy que honrás con tu presencia la miseria de esta pieza la sorpresa del encuentro la podés imaginar… Perdoná, no me di cuenta, casi ni te di la mano. Si querés quedarte un rato sin ninguna pretensión… Poco tengo a ofrecerte, no sabés como he quedado, si estoy dando lo que he dado p’a pagar mi metejón Y vos, estoy seguro que habrás echado buena y que te dio vergüenza entrar en el bulín. Ya no andarás golpeándole al hambre y a la pena. Tu vida noche y día será un solo festín Me alegro que hayas vuelto después de todo un año con ese vestidito que yo te regalé. Tu lujo, tus alhajas, me hubieran hecho daño.. ¡Que bien que te has portado, volviendo como ayer! ¿Que tenés? ¿Estás llorando? No te pongas de ese modo. Si no vas a consolarme con tenerme compasión No fue sólo por tu culpa que he perdido todo, todo. Es que entonces yo tenía un otario corazón ¿Que decís? ¿Que te engañaron con un mundo de promesas? ¿Que volvés arrepentida? ¿Que hoy recién me comprendés…? ¡Que querés si se acabaron tus delirios de grandeza! Hoy tenés de recompensa lo que vos te merecés. Y vos, estoy seguro que habrás echado buena y que te dio vergüenza entrar en el bulín Ya no andarás golpeándole al hambre y a la pena. Tu vida noche y dia será un solo festín Me alegro que hayas vuelto después de todo un año con ese vestidito que yo te regalé Tus lujos, tus alhajas, me hubieran hecho daño.. ¡Ay! ¡Que bien que te has portado, volviendo como ayer!

What do you want, I wasn’t expecting you! Forgive me the plain talk because since you left I thought I never see you again. And today that you honor with your presence the misery of this room, the surprise of this encounter you can imagine… Sorry, I did not realize, that I barely shook hands. If you want to stay a while without any pretension… I have little to offer you, you don’t know how I have been, I’m giving what I’ve had to pay for my infatuation. And you, I am sure that you have done well and that you felt ashamed to walk into the place. You are no longer being hit by hunger and pain. Your life, night and day must be a continuous feast. I am glad that you’ve returned after an entire year wearing that little dress that I gave you. Your luxury, your jewels, would have hurt me, How well you have behaved, returning like yesterday! What happens? Are you crying? Don’t be that way. You are not going to console me by showing me compassion. It wasn’t all your fault that I lost everything, everything. It is that then, I had a stupid heart. What say you? They misled you with a world of promises? That you are returning repentant? That now you understand me…? What do you expect if it’s all over for your delusions of grandeur!! Today you have the reward of what you deserve. And you, I am sure that you have done well and that you felt ashamed to walk into the place. You are no longer being hit by hunger and pain. Your life, night and day must be a continuous feast. I am glad that you’ve returned after an entire year wearing that little dress that I gave you. Your luxury, your jewels, would have hurt me, How well you have behaved, returning like yesterday!
