| I will die in Buenos Aires.
|
| It will be early in the morning.
|
| I will meekly keep the things of living.
|
| My little poetry of goodbyes and bullets
|
| my tobacco, my tango, my handful of splin.
|
| I'll put on the shoulders, warm,
|
| all daybreak;
|
| my penultimate whiskey will remain undrinkable.
|
| It will arrive tangamente, my death in love,
|
| I will be dead, on point, when they are
|
| six o'clock.
|
| Today that God lets me dream
|
| to my forgetfulness I will go through Santa Fé
|
| I know that you are already in our corner
|
| all sad to the feet.
|
| Hold me tight inside
|
| I hear, old deaths
|
| assaulting what I loved.
|
| My soul... let's go
|
| the day comes... you don't cry.
|
| I will die in Buenos Aires
|
| it will be early in the morning
|
| which is the hour in which those who die
|
| they know how to die;
|
| the perfumed muffle will float in my silence
|
| of that verse that I could never tell you.
|
| I will walk so many blocks... and there in the
|
| square france
|
| like fleeting shadows from a tired ballet
|
| repeating your name down a white street
|
| The memories will go away on my tiptoes.
|
| I will die in Buenos Aires.
|
| It will be early in the morning.
|
| I will meekly keep the things of living.
|
| My little poetry of goodbyes and bullets
|
| my tobacco, my tango, my handful of splin.
|
| I'll put on the shoulders, warm,
|
| all daybreak;
|
| my penultimate whiskey will remain undrinkable.
|
| It will arrive tangamente, my death in love,
|
| I will be dead, on point, when they are
|
| six o'clock.
|
| When it's six. |
