Noches de Reyes - Carlos Gardel

La quise como nadie tal vez haya querido

Y la adoraba tanto que hasta celos sentí

Por ella me hice bueno, honrado y buen marido

Y en hombre de trabajo, mi vida convertí

Al cabo de algún tiempo de unir nuestro destino

Nacía un varoncito, orgullo de mi hogar;

Y era mi dicha tanta al ver claro mi camino

Ser padre de familia, honrado y trabajar

Pero una noche de Reyes

Cuando a mi hogar regresaba

Comprobé que me engañaba

Con el amigo más fiel

Y ofendido en mi amor propio

Quise vengar el ultraje

Lleno de ira y coraje

Sin compasión los maté!

Que cuadro compañeros, no quiero recordarlo!

Me llena de vergüenza, de odio y de rencor

De que vale ser bueno!

Si aparte de vengarme

Clavaron en mi pecho la flecha del dolor

Por eso compañero, como hoy es día de Reyes

Los zapatitos el nene afuera los dejo

Espera un regalito y no sabe que a la madre

Por falsa y por canalla, su padre la mató!

I loved her like no one perhaps has loved

And she adored her so much that I even felt jealousy

For her I became a good, honest and good husband

And in a man of work, my life became

After some time joining our fate

A little boy was born, pride of my home;

And he was so happy to see my path clear

Being a father of a family, honest and working

But a night of Kings

When I returned home

I found that I was cheating

With the most faithful friend

And offended in my own love

I wanted to avenge the outrage

Full of anger and courage

Without compassion I killed them!

What a picture, comrades, I don't want to remember it!

It fills me with shame, hate and resentment

What's the point of being good?

Yes, apart from taking revenge

They stuck the arrow of pain in my chest

That's why mate, as today is Three Kings' Day

The little shoes the baby left outside

He expects a little gift and he doesn't know that the mother

Because she was false and a scoundrel, her father killed her!
