Tú en la vieja mesa
You at the old table
Tomando otro vino
Sipping another wine
Con otra mirada
With a different look
Con otros amigos
With other friends
Yo desde la barra
Me from the bar
Contando cariños
Counting sweethearts
Bebo sorbo a sorbo
I drink sip by sip
Todo tu destino
All your destiny
A través del ruido
Through the noise
Se cuela tu risa
Your laughter sneaks in
Media luna alegre
Joyful half-moon
Corazón sin prisa
Heart in no hurry
Piazzola en el aire
Piazzolla in the air
Suena con tu disco
Dreaming with your record
Mis dedos ya buscan
My fingers are already searching
Tu mano en mi vino
Your hand in my wine
Vieja mesa tapiada de amor
Old table sealed with love
Sienta mis recuerdos
Feel my memories
Vieja mesa
Old table
Voz de mi acordeón
Voice of my accordion
Llévame a tu puerto
Take me to your harbor
Vieja mesa, tabla de ilusión
Old table, a board of illusion
Madera que suena
Wood that makes a sound
Vieja mesa, lugar de ocasión
Old table, a place of chance
Nudo de mi espera
Knot of my waiting
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor)
(Old table walled with love)
(Vieja mesa)
(Old table)
Borraré mi corazón
I will erase my heart
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor) el dolor
(Old table walled with love) the pain
(Vieja mesa) que me mata de tristeza
(Old table) that kills me with sadness
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor) la sigo esperando
(Old table sealed with love) I keep waiting for her
(Vieja mesa) para ver si ella regresa, oh, oh
(Old table) to see if she comes back, oh, oh
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor) voy buscando en una copa
(Old table sealed with love) I’m searching in a glass
(Vieja mesa) los recuerdos de su boca que me aturden la cabeza
(Old table) for the memories of her lips that daze my head
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor) tú ve'
(Old table sealed with love) you see
(Vieja mesa) aún no me explico porqué se fue
(Old table) I still can’t explain why she left
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor) y me quedo junto a ti
(Old table sealed with love) and I stay by your side
(Vieja mesa) tu mi amiga, vieja mesa, eh, eh
(Old table) my friend, old table, eh, eh
(Vieja mesa)
(Old table)
(Vieja mesa) nena, tú ve'
(Old table) baby, you see
Nena, tú ve'
Baby, you see
(Vieja mesa)
(Old table)
Chi, chi
Chi, chi
(Vieja mesa) otra ve'
(Old table) again
(Vieja mesa)
(Old table)
(Vieja mesa)
(Old table)
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor)
(Old table sealed with love)
(Vieja mesa) tú que sabes de este idilio
(Old table) you who know about this romance
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor)
(Old table sealed with love)
(Vieja mesa) me muero en este martillo
(Old table) I'm dying in this hammer
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor)
(Old table boarded up with love)
(Vieja mesa) ¿dónde está?, ¿dónde se ha ido?
(Old table) where are you?, where have you gone?
Vieja mesa tapiada de amor
Old table boarded up with love
(Vieja mesa) y me quedo solo contigo
(Old table) and I’m left alone with you
(Vieja mesa tapiada de amor)
(Old table boarded up with love)
(Vieja mesa) tu mi amiga, vieja mesa
(Old table) you are my friend, old table
