LOS MAREADOS (DIZZY)

Music by Juan Carlos Cobian
Lyrics by Enrique Cadícamo
Translation by Coby Lubliner

Rara,
como encendida,
te hallé bebiendo,
linda y fatal;
bebías,
y en el fragor del champán
loca reías, por no llorar...

Pena
me dio encontrarte
pues al mirarte
yo vi brillar
tus ojos
con un eléctrico ardor,
tus bellos ojos que tanto adoré.

Esta noche, amiga mía,
el alcohol nos ha embriagado...
Que me importa que se rían
y nos llamen los mareados.
Cada cual tiene sus penas
y nosotros las tenemos.
Esta noche beberemos
porque ya no volveremos
a vernos mas...

Hoy ... vas a entrar en mi pasado,
en el pasado de mi vida.
Tres cosas lleva mi alma herida:
Amor, Pesar, Dolor.
Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado,
y hoy nuevas sendas tomaremos.
Que grande ha sido nuestro amor
y, sin embargo, ay,
mirá lo que quedó!

 

Crazy,
Almost on fire,
I found you drinking,
Lovely and fierce;
Imbibing,
And in the din of champagne,
Laughing insanely, so’s not to cry...

Painful
It was to find you,
Since when I saw you
I saw your eyes
A-shining
With an electrical glow,
Your lovely eyes that I adored so much.

Yes, tonight my friend, we’re raucous,
Drink has put us in a tizzy...
I don’t care if people mock us
And they say that we’re just dizzy.
Everyone has their own troubles,
And we have our own, and double,
Yes, tonight we’ll drink, my lover,
For we’ll never see each other,
No, nevermore...

Now you’ll become part of my hist’ry,
Part of my past, of my life story.
Three things my wounded soul is bearing:
There’s love, regret and pain.
Now you’ll become part of my hist’ry,
Now we’ll be taking new directions.
We thought we had the greatest love
And yet, how sadly, yet,
Look at what it’s become!
