Translation is a linguistic act—and linguistic acts, like all acts of communication, never exist in a void. Nothing here would have been possible without the encouragement, constructive criticism, and support of many others.
These people have been instrumental to my growth, not only in tango but life beyond as well.

Posted by Carlos Lovera (AKA malevo) | 09.14.2010, 12:37 AMThank you DDP for the translations. Post up the sheet music too if you have it for these songs. Really wonderful to read through the originals and the translations. I miss so many details when I’m just listening to the song and it is good to really get at the story of song going through the lyrics. Thank you!
