"Ballad for my death"
I will die in Buenos Aires, it will happen at daybreak
I will meekly keep the things of the living,
my humble poetry of farewell and bullets,
my tobacco, my tango, my handful of melancholy.
I will wear the whole dawn on my shoulders, as an overcoat
my second-to-last whisky will remain untouched.
My enamored death will arrive as a tango
I will be dead when the clock strikes six o’clock, sharp
Today, that God stops dreaming of me
to my oblivion I’m headed by Santa Fe St.
I know you are already there on our corner
engulfed in sorrow, all the way down to your feet.
Hold me tight, for on the inside
I can hear deaths, old deaths,
assaulting what I have loved.
My darling, let’s get going,
the day is coming, don’t you weep.
I will die in Buenos Aires, it will happen at daybreak,
the hour in which those who know how to die, die.
The fragrant ill fortune will float in my silence
from that verse I never knew how to recite to you.
I will amble along so many blocks, and there, in France square
like runaway shadows from a worn-out ballet,
repeating your name along a white street,
my memories will leave me, tiptoeing away.
I will die in Buenos Aires, it will happen at daybreak
I will meekly keep the things of the living,
my humble poetry of farewell and bullets,
my tobacco, my tango, my handful of melancholy.
I will wear the whole dawn on my shoulders, as an overcoat
my second-to-last whisky will remain untouched.
My enamored death will arrive AS A TANGO / IN THE SHAPE OF A TANGO
I will be dead when the clock strikes six o’clock, sharp
when the clock strikes six, when the clock strikes six
when the clock strikes six, when the clock strikes six!
Horacio Ferrer
