La abandoné y no sabía (1943)

I Abandoned Her and I Didn’t Know…
lyrics by José Canet

Orquesta Ricardo Tanturi, singer Enrique Campos
Orquesta Miguel Caló, singer Raúl Berón
Orquesta Osvaldo Pugliese, singer Roberto ChanelKneaded between the silver and goldof serenades and wild dance parties,
cradled by the sounds
of bandoneons,
this tango was born.
It was born to watch as I suffer
in this horrible way of life
where my luck is in the throes of death.
When I hear it sound out,
when I go out to dance to it,
I feel death come a bit closer.
And that is why tonight
I feel the reprimands
of my heart.

I abandoned her and I didn’t know
that I still loved her
and ever since she left
I feel cut off from my faith
it is dying, dying…
I abandoned her and I didn’t know
that my heart was deceiving me
and now that I’ve come to look for her
I can’t find her anymore…
where shall I go without her love?
