Tango time

Posted by Der-Lowe Nov. 6, 2007 @ 2:39 PM EST

Mañana zarpa un barco
Tango
1942
Música: Lucio Demare
Letra: Homero Manzi

Riberas que no cambian tocamos al anclar.
Cien puertos nos regalan la música del mar.
Muchachas de ojos tristes nos vienen a esperar
y el gusto de las copas parece siempre igual.
Tan sólo aquí en tu puerto se alegra el corazón,
Riachuelo donde sangra la voz del bandoneón.
Bailemos hasta el eco del último compás,
mañana zarpa un barco, tal vez no vuelva más.

Qué bien se baila
sobre la tierra firme.
Mañana al alba
tenemos que zarpar.
La noche es larga,
no quiero que estés triste.
Muchacha, vamos...
no sé por qué llorás.
Diré tu nombre
cuando me encuentre lejos.

Tendré un recuerdo
para contarle al mar.
La noche es larga,
no quiero que estés triste.
Muchacha, vamos...
no sé por qué llorás.

Dos meses en un barco viajó mi corazón.
Dos meses añorando la voz del bandoneón.
El tango es puerto amigo donde ancla la ilusión.
Al ritmo de su danza se hamaca la emoción.
De noche, con la luna, soñando sobre el mar,
el ritmo de las olas me miente su compás.
Bailemos este tango, no quiero recordar.
Mañana zarpa un barco, tal vez no vuelva más.

We touch non-changing shores as we anchor.
A hundred ports give us the sea's music.
Sad-eyed girls come to wait for us
and the taste of drinks is always the same.
Only here in your port the heart goes happy,
rivulet where the bandoneon's voice bleeds.
Let's dance until the echo of the last measure,
a ship sets sail tomorrow, it may not come back.

Tomorrow at dawn
we'll have to set sail.
The night is long,
I don't want you to be sad.
Come on girl,
I don't know why you cry.
I'll say your name
when I'm far away.
I'll have a memory
to tell the sea.
The night is long,
I don't want you to be sad.
Come on, girl...
I don't know why you cry.

Two months by ship traveled my heart
Two months longing the bandoneon's voice.
Tango is a friendly port where illusion anchors.
To the rhythm of its dancing emotions swing.
At night, with the Moon, dreaming at sea
the waves' rhythm lies me its measure.
Let's dance this Tango, I don't want to remember.
Tomorrow a ship sails, it may not come back.

no habla der lowe.

What does that say in English por favor?

Nov. 7, 2007 | 3:16 PM Der-Lowe responds:

I'm a language now!
Since you asked nicely, I've translated it (in a crappy way).
It's a tango my grandmother likes to sing.
I have Karina Beorlegui's version, it's very good.


Nov. 7, 2007 | 7:02 AM reviewer-general says:

WE had a trivia question in Quiz Bowl about the tango!

Sarah and I knew if we got it wrong you would kill us. =D

;

Nov. 7, 2007 | 3:17 PM Der-Lowe responds:

What was the question?
And don't worry, I would've just killed you.

Pa ram pam pararam CHAN CHAN!
Didya Know? This year would be the 100th birthday of Homero Manzi!

Nov. 7, 2007 | 9:26 PM Der-Lowe responds:

I did not. Thanks for the info! =)


Nov. 10, 2007 | 10:20 PM reviewer-general says:

Erm, it was just a description of a dance and we had to identify what dance it was. From the definition.

The adjective "Argentinian" was used, at which point Sarah and I whirled to each other and thought of you.

=D

Nov. 10, 2007 | 11:14 PM Der-Lowe responds:

Was I naked in your thoughts?


Nov. 10, 2007 | 11:52 PM reviewer-general says:

Only partially.

Nov. 11, 2007 | 12:19 AM Der-Lowe responds:

No T-shirt or no pants?


Nov. 11, 2007 | 6:16 PM DarkWizard1992 says:

I transcripted a piece of poetry by Armando Tejada Gomez in my Page. Please, go and take a look at it.

Nov. 11, 2007 | 6:22 PM Der-Lowe responds:

I have =)


Nov. 14, 2007 | 11:39 PM DarkWizard1992 says:

I think they have you as a fetish. A young, smart south-american fetish. That's good luck...

Nov. 15, 2007 | 10:28 AM Der-Lowe responds:

you forgot the sexually irresistible part.
Who have me; who's "they"?


Nov. 15, 2007 | 10:29 AM DarkWizard1992 says:

I think reviewer-general and that girl Paula. You were semi nekkid in their thoughts...

Nov. 16, 2007 | 2:36 PM Der-Lowe responds:

I like how minds work. In your mind, you took Sarah (that's the actual name of the girl, btw much <3 to her) as a girl one of your friends knew. Then you read Seven's post (much <3 to her too) and you read Paula, the smiling girl at the store (why not some <3 to her as well), and you processed it the same way. When trying to retrieve the info, you made a mistake, because you had memorized them in the same way.
Oh, we never got to learn whether I was not wearing a T-shirt or my pants.
It's another Newgrounds mystery =O


Nov. 16, 2007 | 3:26 PM tony4moroney says:

thats actually not a bad poem. although you didnt write it yourself you just copy-pasted it you ingrate.

Nov. 16, 2007 | 3:35 PM Der-Lowe responds:

It isn't a poem, you illiterate.
And I did the translation, so I deserve credit.

Dear JEBUS! You're Actually right! CA-RAJO!!!!

Nov. 16, 2007 | 6:07 PM Der-Lowe responds:

Unfortunately, I'm usually right.


Nov. 17, 2007 | 4:33 PM reviewer-general says:

No t-shirt, white boxers only.

It was hawt.

*rawr*

Nov. 17, 2007 | 4:36 PM Der-Lowe responds:

Unless you're Sarah using rg's account, I'm throwing up right now.


Nov. 17, 2007 | 4:52 PM DarkWizard1992 says:

@ R-G: O_o

Nov. 17, 2007 | 5:29 PM Der-Lowe responds:

Yes.


Nov. 17, 2007 | 6:42 PM reviewer-general says:

No. Not Sarah.

Just not decided sexually.

She will tell you more. :\

Nov. 17, 2007 | 6:44 PM Der-Lowe responds:

I forgot:
*walks smoothly to the bathroom, kneels down carefully in front of the toilet, throws up*
*stands up, brushes his teeth*
*washes his hands*

You sure love Ctrl+C-Ctrl+V


Nov. 17, 2007 | 10:12 PM DarkWizard1992 says:

They we're my companions in my life. One time Ctrl-C Killed a hobo that tried to mug me, and Ctrl-V Hid the body.

Nov. 17, 2007 | 11:38 PM Der-Lowe responds:

And I was thinking of buying a gun; all I needed was a keyboard!

2+4=6 , my favorite number, because 6 means almost perfect, since it is the number of the beast =)
And if you're hand, and have 6 and 7 of the same color, you'll surely win the envido =D
