PENA MULATA lyrics

LYRICS: Homero Manzi
MUSIC: Sebastian Piana

Pena mulata
que se desata
bajo la bata
de broderi.

Dolor de milonga
que apenas prolonga
con queja tristonga
la noche de abril.

Como un espejo
bruñido y viejo
brilla el pellejo
del bailarin.

Clavel escarlata
que el ansia delata
temblando en la bata
se mancha carmin.

Tu madre murio de amores
en el barrio del tambor.
Abrio caminos de ausencia
el puñal de un cuarteador.

Tu padre murio a la sombra
por vengar esa traición.
Mulata, nacio tu estrella
en un cielo de crespon.

Luz de locura
brilla en la oscura
mirada dura
del bailarin.

Alcohol de añoranza
que al son de la danza
calienta venganza
debajo la crin.

Pobre morena
broto en tus venas
una serena
flor carmesi.

Rencor en acecho
pincel del despecho
pintado en tu pecho
la mancha carmin.

Tu madre murio de amores
alma blanca y piel carbon.
Mulata fueron sus labios
el rencor de un cuarteador.

Tu padre murio a la sombra
por vengar esa traición.
Mulata, nacio tu estrella
en un cielo de crespon.

Pena milata
que se desata
bajo la bata
de broderi.

Dolor de milonga
que apenas prolonga
con queja tristonga
la noche de abril.

Quote of the Day

In tango, the relationship between lead and follower, man and woman, is so intense and all consuming, that there is simply no time for small talk. The last man I danced with, I know more intricately in many ways than his lover: I know that he perspires in a tiny spot above his brow; that when the dance slows and our connection is tight, his breathing almost stops; that when my leg sweeps his, he arches his neck imperceptibly upwards; that when another couple got too close he subconsciously enclosed me in a protective embrace; and that his hand rested so delicately on the flesh of my back. Yet all I know about him are his name and his country of origin. Small talk is a luxury not afforded to us tango addicts. - Anastasia Demaggio
