Lyrics of Garganta Con Arena - Cacho Castaña

Garganta Con Arena (original)

Ya ves, el día no amanece
Polaco Goyeneche
Cantate un tango más
Ya ves, la noche se hace larga
Tu vida tiene un karma
Cantar, siempre cantar
Tu voz, que al tango lo emociona
Diciendo el punto y coma que nadie le cantó
Tu voz, con duendes y fantasmas
Respira con el asma de un viejo bandoneón
Canta garganta con arena
Tu voz tiene la pena que Malena no cantó
Canta que Juárez te condena
Al lastimar tu pena con su blanco bandoneón
Canta, la gente está aplaudiendo
Y aunque te estés muriendo no conoce tu dolor
Canta, que Trolio desde el cielo
Debajo de tu almohada un verso te dejó
Cantor de un tango algo insolente
Hiciste que la gente le duela tu dolor
Cantor, de un tango equilibrista
Más que cantor artista con vicios de cantor
Ya vez a mi y a Buenos Aires
Nos falta siempre el aire cuando no está tu voz
Tu voz, que un día me enseñaste
El día que cantaste conmigo una canción

(translation)

You see, the day does not dawn
Polish Goyeneche
Sing one more tango
You see, the night is long
Your life has a karma
Sing, always sing
Your voice, which excites tango
Saying the semicolon that no one sang to him
Your voice, with goblins and ghosts
Breathe with the asthma of an old bandoneon
Sing throat with sand
Your voice is sorry that Malena did not sing
Sing that Juarez condemns you
When hurting your sorrow with his white bandoneon
Sing, people are clapping
And even if you're dying, he doesn't know your pain
Sing, that Trolio from the sky
Under your pillow a verse left you
Singer of a somewhat insolent tango
You made people hurt your pain
Singer, of a tightrope walker tango
More than an artist singer with the vices of a singer
Now to me and to Buenos Aires
We are always short of breath when your voice is not there
Your voice, that one day you taught me
The day you sang a song with me
