Francisco Lomuto y su Orquesta Tipica -- Violin Gitano (1938)
(Gypsy Violin)

Oh !, Gypsy with your melancholic look
In your hands, how you make the violin cry
It even thrills like a passionate song
Meanwhile, pale, in silence, I listen to ...
This tango that on one perfumed night
In my life, bound my heart to another's.

Oh, gypsy violin!
Cry only for me...
Perhaps you weep too,
Longing for a love
Far away from you.

If a hidden pain
A hand evokes in you
This tango of love,
Oh, gypsy violin!
I'm saddened and depressed.

You who dream in the sweet land, back in Hungary
It always throbs with your gypsy soul,
Like you, my soul wants to sob
Remembering who ruthlessly abandoned her...
Like the song of harmony you cast
To the wind, my deep affection left.

Coda:
This tango is love
But my love goes far,
Oh, gypsy violin!
Though I cry in vain ..
