Sacale punta, refers to the act of sharpening a pencil, used in this case figuratively asking people to go to the milonga and sharpen it honoring the tango.

CASTELLANO	ENGLISH
Sacále punta a esta milonga que ya empezó. Seguí esos fueyes que rezongan del corazón. Y las pebetas que han venido del Club Fulgor. El tango requiebra la vida Y en sus notas desparrama, su amor Tango lindo de arrabal que yo, Yo lo he visto desmayar. Triunfó. Tango lindo que al cantar volcó Su fé, su amor, varón tenés que ser.	Sharpen this milonga that already started. Follow those bellows that moan from the heart. And the girls that have come from Club Fulgor. The tango flatters life And its notes, spreads its  love Tango handsome from the suburb that I, I have seen it faint. Triumphed. Tango handsome that in singing poured Its faith, its love, male, you must be

Llevando mi pesar como un maldicion sin rumbo fui, buscando de olvidar el fuego de ese amor que te implore y alla en la soledad del desamparo cruel tratando de olvidarte recorde con la ansiedad febril del dia que te di todo mi ser, y al ver la realidad de toda tu crueldad yo maldeci la luz de tu mirar, en que me encandile, llevado en mi ansiedad de amar Besos impregnados de amargura, tuve de tu boca en su frialdad, tu alma no sintio mi fiel ternura y me brindo con su rigor, maldad Quiero disipar toda mi pena, busco de calmar mi sinsabor, siento inaguantable esta cadena que me ceñi al implorar tu amor

Carrying my regret as a curse I was aimlessly looking to forget the fire of the love that I implored and there in the solitude of the cruel neglect Trying to forget, I remembered with feverish anxiety the day I gave you my whole being and seeing the reality of all your cruelty I cursed the light in your eyes, that blinded me, carried away in my anxiety led to love Besos impregnated of bitterness I had from your mouth in its coldness, your soul did feel my faithful affection and brought me with its rigor, evil I want to dispel all my pain, I seek to soothe my distaste, I feel unbearable this chain I wore while begging your love

Desatando los recuerdos del ayer, en la triste realidad de mi vivir, escuché tu voz distante y mi querer, sollozo en la sombra larga de tu olvido. Bajo el soplo agonizante de la tarde, caen las hojas del otoño junto a mi, estoy solo en mi dolor y tengo miedo, esta ausencia que me aleja más de ti. En tus locos afanes de vuelo, te has quebrado las alas, mariposa, y en la pobre orfandad de tus anhelos, pretendiste ocultar tu gran derrota. Mariposa, sin alas sólo eres una sombra perdida en el espacio. Yo quisiera borrar tu desventura en la humilde tibieza de mis brazos.

Unleashing the memories of yesterday in the sad reality of my life, I heard your voice instantly and my love, I sobbed the long shadow of your forgetfulness. Under the dying breath of the afternoon, the autumn leaves fall next to me, I am alone in my pain and I’m afraid, this absence that takes me farther away from you. In your crazy eagerness of flight you have broken your wings, butterfly, and the poor orphanhood of your desires, you tried to hide your great loss. Butterfly, wingless you’re just a shadow lost in space. I would like to remove your misfortune in the humble warmth of my arms.
