Dear friends from Tango list

Warm regards

p.s. One of her beautiful lyrics, that resists this my rough translation
The heart watching at the south
I was born in a neighbourhood where the luxury was a lottery,
for that reason have the heart watching at the south.
My old man was a bee in the beehive, clean hands, good soul...
And in that childhood, austerity forged me,
later the life thousand ways opened to me,
and I knew the tycoon and the tramp,
for that reason I have the heart watching at the south.
My neighbourhood was a plant of jazmine,
the shade of my old man in the garden,
the sweet celebration of the simplest things
and the peace at the garden , facing the sun.
My neighbourhood was my people who now are not anymore,
the things that already never will return,
from the day in which I depart
with my emotion and my burden,
I know that I have the heart watching at the south!
The geography of my neighbourhood I take in me,
maybe that is the reason thay I do not entirely depart,
The corner, the warehouse, children running.. I recognize it...
are something mine...
Now I know that the distance is not real
and I discovered myself at that southern point,
returning to the childhood from the light
always having the heart watching at the south.
El corazon mirando al Sur
Nacm en un barrio donde el lujo fue un albur,
por eso tengo el corazsn mirando al sur.
Mi viejo fue una abeja en la colmena,
las manos limpias, el alma buena...
Y en esa infancia, la templanza me forjs,
despuis la vida mil caminos me tendis,
y supe del magnate y del tahzr,
por eso tengo el corazsn mirando al sur.
Mi barrio fue una planta de jazmmn,
la sombra de mi vieja en el jardmn,
la dulce fiesta de las cosas mas sencillas
y la paz en la gramilla de cara al sol.
Mi barrio fue mi gente que no esta,
las cosas que ya nunca volveran,
si desde el dma en que me fui
con la emocisn y con la cruz,
!yo si que tengo el corazsn mirando al sur!
La geografma de mi barrio llevo en mm,
sera por eso que del todo no me fui:
la esquina, el almacin, el pibermo...
lo reconozco... son algo mmo...
Ahora si que la distancia no es real
y me descubro en ese punto cardinal,
volviendo a la niqez desde la luz
teniendo siempre el corazsn mirando al sur.
