[Español] 
Malena canta el [bad word] ninguna 
Y en cada verso pone su corazón. 
yuyo del suburbio su voz perfuma, 
Malena tiene pena de bandoneón. 
Tal vez allá en la infancia su voz de 
alondra tomo ese tono oscuro del callejón, 
O acaso aquel romance 
que solo nombra cuando se pone 
triste con el alcoholo. 
Malena canta el [bad word] ninguna… 
Tu canción tiene el frío del último encuentro, 
Tus ojos son [bad word] el olvido, 
tus labios [bad word] el rencor, 
tus manos dos palomas que sienten frió, 
tus venas tienen sangre de bandoneón. 
Malena canta el tango con voz quebrada; 
Malena tiene pena de bandoneón. 
[English] 
Malena sings the tango like no other 
And in each verse she puts her heart. 
Her voice perfumes [with the scent] of city yuyo,* 
Malena has the pain of a bandoneón.* 
Maybe during her childhood her voice 
Of a lark took on this dark tone from the streets, 
Or maybe from that romance 
That she only names when she is 
Sad with alcohol. 
Malena sings the tango like no other… 
Your song has the chill of a final encounter, 
Your eyes are dark like oblivion, 
Your lips tight like resentment, 
Your hands two doves that have caught cold, 
Your veins have the blood of the bandoneón. 
Malena sings the tango with a broken voice; 
Malena has the ache of the bandoneón. 
*Yuyo is an herb. 
*The bandoneón is a large accordion used in the Argentinean tango
