Lyrics of Rosa De Otono - Carlos Gardel

Rosa De Otono (original)

T eres la vida, la vida dulce
Llena de encantos y lucidez
T me sostienes y me conduces
Casi a la cima de tu altivez
Tu eres constancia yo soy paciencia
Tu eres ternura yo soy piedad
Tu representas la independencia
Yo simbolizo la libertad
Tu bien lo sabes, estoy enfermo
Y en mi semblante claro se ve
Que ya de noche casi no duermo
No duermo nada Sabes por que?
Porque yo sueo como te aprecio
Y que a mi lado te he de tener
Son sueos vanos, torpes y necios
Pero mi vida, Que voy a hacer?
Yo sufro mucho, me duele el alma
Y estn penosa mi situacin
Que muchas veces por buscar calma
Llevo mis dedos al diapasn
De tu desprecio nunca hagas gala
Por que si lo haces pobre de mi
Qureme siempre, no seas tan mala
Vamos ingrata, no seas as

(translation)

You are the life, the sweet life
Full of charms and lucidity
You hold me and lead me
Almost to the top of your haughtiness
You are constancy, I am patience
You are tenderness, I am pity
You represent independence
I symbolize freedom
You know it well, I'm sick
And in my clear face you can see
That at night I hardly sleep
I don't sleep at all Do you know why?
Because I dream how I appreciate you
And that by my side I have to have you
They are vain, clumsy and foolish dreams
But my life, what am I going to do?
I suffer a lot, my soul hurts
And my situation is painful
That many times to seek calm
I bring my fingers to the fingerboard
Never make a show of your contempt
Because if you make him poor of me
Love me always, don't be so mean
Come on ungrateful, don't be like that
