TANGO MAN

Shall I play you a song, Mister
A song of sorrows
Of all my wanderings
And all my empty tomorrows

All my dreams are broken, Mister
What dream shall I play on
My torn coat, my hungry legs
Or my sad bandoneon?

Will you throw me a coin, Mister
To numb the fever
To buy a night of forgetting
Beside the silver river

Shall I tell you of despair, Mister
Of broken desire
Of a fever that burns
Without the fire

Or shall I dance, Mister?
Shall I play my bandoneon?
Shall I play you a love song, Mister?
What dream shall I play on?

Will you throw me a coin, Mister
To numb the fever
To buy a night of forgetting
Beside the silver river

Will you throw me a coin, Mister
To numb the fever
To buy a night of forgetting
Beside the silver river
