Candombe para Gardel [English translation]

I have a candombe for Gardel

I have beautiful memories of him,

and I talk about a very grey time

with poverty close to me,

only his voice made me happy.

Gardel had a beautiful hat,

a white smile like a carnation.

How many candombes I wanted to hear

interpreted by don Gardel

but it didn't happen.

The boys of the street gang,

that we feel the candombe very well,

we sat and sing on the streetside

with drums some Gardel tango.

And a girl passing by

looking at the drum

softly said to me:

how warm is april!
