2026 translation
An entire tango about missing a flat. The bulín was the refuge where nobody asked for explanations: today it is my cave, and the plan is still not going out.
Every verse is cross-checked in at least two sources: the published lyrics and the record of Gardel's recording. The tango for each word plays on Spotify. Before publishing, the Foundation confirms the transcriptions.
