This is one of three poems written by Homero Manzi in his final days. There are quite a few recordings of this masterful tango. Alberto Podesta with Francini-Pontier (1950); Jorge Casal with Anibal Troilo (1951); Ricardo Blanco with Miguel Calo (1950); Alberto Arenas with Francisco Canaro (1950); Nelly Omar (1969); Susana Rinaldi with Julian Plaza (1969); Roberto Goyeneche with Anibal Troilo, perhaps the greatest of them all... A purist in the use of the language, Manzi incorporates a rare phonetic deformation of the English term Off-side (Orsai) which in football means out of play, illegal position, out of place.El duende de tu son, che, bandoneГіnse apiada del dolor de los demГЎs,y al estrujar tu fuelle dormilГіn,se arrima al corazГіn que sufre mГЎs.Esthercita y MimГ­, como NinГіn,dejando sus destinos de percal,vistieron al final mortaja de rayГіnal eco funeral de tu canciГіn.BandoneГіn,hoy es noche de fandangoy puedo confesarte la verdad,copa a copa, pena a pena, tango a tango,embalado en la locuradel alcohol y la amargura.BandoneГіn,Вїpara quГ© nombrarla tanto?ВїNo ves que estГЎ de olvido el corazГіny ella vuelve, noche a noche, como un cantoen las gotas de tu llanto,che, bandoneГіn? Tu canto es el amor que no se dio,y el cielo que soГ±amos una vez,y el fraternal amigo que se hundiГіcinchando en la tormenta de un querer.Y esas ganas tremendas de llorarque a veces nos inundan sin razГіn,y el trago de licor que obliga a recordarsi el alma estГЎ en orsai,che, bandoneГіn.ENGLISH======The goblin of your sound, hey, bandoneontakes pity of the pain of others,and when squeezing your sleepy bellowsit comes closer to the heart that undergoes more suffering.Esthercita and MimГ­, like NinГіn,abandoning their destinies of percale,in the end they wore a rayon shroudto the funeral echo of your song.BandoneГіn,today is a night to live it upand I can confess the truth to you,drink after drink, sadness after sadness, tango after tango,wrapped up in the madnessof the alcohol and the bitterness.BandoneГіn,why naming her as much?Don't you see that the heart's forgettingbut she returns, night after night, like a songin the teardrops of your weeping,Hey, bandoneГіn?Your song is the love that did not occur,and the sky that we dreamed once,and the brotherly friend who sankworking hard in the storm of a love affair.And those tremendous desires to crythat sometimes they flood us without reason,and the drink of liquor that forces us to rememberif the soul is off-side,hey, bandoneГіn.

Tango Butoh y mis raГ­ces se estremecenpor Gustavo Collini SartorCamino por las calles de Tokio, al reencuentro con el maestro de la Danza Butoh, Kazuo Ohno. Nace un sueГ±o. Desde el Oriente vienen a mi, voces de otras voces, que no logro aferrar. Se confunden, el retumbar de los Taikos de las antiguas fortalezas medievales, con el llanto del aire y del alma encerrado en una cajita porteГ±a de cartГіn. Las palabras vibran en mi cuerpo que danza rituales cotidianos desde lo profundo del espГ­ritu del teatro "Noh", surge un fantasma que me persigue e inquieta. Y este fantasma convoca a otros fantasmas, montados en el lomo indomable de un bandoneГіn que no calla.Tango, que parece morir en el hombre nuevo que ya no escucha. Tango, aparentemente dГ©bil frente a lo incierto de las pasiones. Tango, mudo ante la muerte en las catedrales. Buda y Cristo lloran. Tango, que como el Icaro del alma, se precipita derritiendo sus esperanzas en un maГ±ana. Read more…
