Translation of the song lyrics Bandoneon Arrabalero, Pt. 1 - Carlos Gardel

Bandoneon Arrabalero, Pt. 1 (original)

Bandoneon arrabalero, viejo fuelle desinflado
Te encontre como a un pebete que la madre abandono
En la puerta de un convento sin reboque en las paredes
A la luz de un farolito que de noche te alumbro
Bandoneon, porque ves que estoy triste y cantar ya no puedo
Vos sabes que yo llevo en el alma marcao un dolor
Te lleve a mi pieza, te acune en mi pecho frio
Yo tambin abandonado me encontraba en el bulin;
Has querido consolarme con tu voz enronquecida
Y tus notas doloridas aumento mi berretin

(translation)

Bandoneon from the suburbs, old deflated bellows
I found you like a baby that the mother abandoned
At the door of a convent without plaster on the walls
In the light of a lantern that at night I illuminate you
Bandoneon, because you see that I'm sad and I can't sing anymore
You know that I have a marked pain in my soul
I took you to my room, I cradled you in my cold chest
I was also abandoned in the bulin;
You wanted to comfort me with your hoarse voice
And your sore notes increase my berretin
