Damned cabaret
She was one of those womenwith haggard face,
quite sleepy,
tired of striding.
It was an early morning
when I returned from the theater.
I saw a girl that
came out from a cabaret
with hesitant steps
and she couldn't walk.
Suddenly a tango was heard
that you could hear very far,
I felt inside my soul
a deep feeling.
I felt that encounter,
the notes attracted me
and like a mad one
I saw her moving back,
falling down sharply
without forces to walk.
By taking some steps
with her lost forces,
stopped at a door,
immersed in pain.
I heard her thousand groans,
I saw her faint
and making a great effort
with her aching voice,
I heard her saying:
'Help me, sir!'
~
I hurried instantly,
I asked her right away:
'Can I help you with something
to calm your evil? '
She told me raving:
'It's the sleepy lead
that I have here in the chest,
I have just been shot.
For God's sake, I ask you, sir,
take me to a hospital!'
