No se para que volviste
si yo empezaba a olvidar
No se si ya lo sabras llore cuando vos te fuiste
No se para que volviste,
que mal me hace recordar
La tarde se apuesto triste
y yo prefiero callar

Para que vamos a hablar
de cosas que ya no existen
No se para que volviste
ya ves que es mejor no hablar

Que pena me da saber que al final
De ese amor ya no queda nada
Solo una pobre cancion da vueltas por mi guitarra
Y hace rato que te extraña
mi zamba para olvidar

Mi zamba vivio conmigo,
parte de mi soledad
No se si ya lo sabras mi vida se fue contigo
Contigo mi amor contigo
Que mal me hace recordar

Mis manos ya son de barro,
tanto apretar al dolor
Y ahora que me falta el sol,
no se que venis buscando
Llorando mi amor llorando
Tambien olvidame vos


I don't know why did you come back, if i was starting to forget about you
I don't know if you already knew it, but i cried when you left.
I don't know why did you come back, it' hurts me to remember.
Now the evening is turning grey, and i prefer to stay quiet
Why should we talk about things that no longer exist?
I don't know why did you come back, you'll see, is better if we don't talk.
It's so sad to know that at the end of our love there's nothing left
there's just a sad song that travels on my guitar
and she was missing you.. this is my song to forget about you
My song lived with me, part of my loneliness
I don't know if you already knew it, my life faded away with you..
with you, my love, with you.. it hurts me to remember.
my hands are turning dust because i've been crushing the pain
and now that the sun is missing, i don't know what are you looking for?
crying, my love, crying, you should forget about me too
It's so sad to know that at the end of our love there's nothing left
there's just a sad song that travels on my guitar
and she was missing you.. this is my song to forget about you

2020

Ah 2020. You have been upended in the most ridiculous way possible by a virus that has destroyed every single activity we do for fun, leisure, pleasure, necessity, survival. Because, humans. Was so looking forward to a year of dancing starting with the Taiwan Valentine's Tango Marathon, leading into STM v5, London, Portugal and maybe BA by the end of the year. Guess what! ALL GONE, DESTROYED. It has been a year since I went to a marathon/event. I am probably the saddest I have been when it comes to the dance front. 11 years ago I made it such a part of my identity that it has accompanied me through the years of visiting different cities for work, for holiday, for weddings, for connections, for reunions with exes, for meeting new interests. Shaped my 20's like nothing else has and only grows stronger year after year. 2020 was the reset required. Mentally, emotionally. This relationship with Tango remains my strongest and most developed of my many relationships with many a...

I cannot meet you at this point right now...

I've always had the notion that Tango was about being able to dance with anyone. Granted, the abstractness and lead-follow of the dance, often means that you are able to match most people as long as you are of a certain level. But sometimes, even if you are able to follow them, their styles might just not match yours...for now. Recently had a dance with a new visiting lead, first tanda was a lower energy Tango, where I thought, "OK, not bad, but nothing out of the ordinary". Then he asked me to dance a milonga, and that was where I was truly mind blown. Apparently, his language was speed and dynamic, not melodic and languorous, no pauses here! But it was exactly what I needed at that point in time. This was confirmed again by an energetic D'Arienzo on the final milonga night, matching energies, matching intentions, a similar way of hearing the beats, the syncopation and the lead/follow. Beautiful! Reminds me, again and again why Tango is so addictive. Akin to an unexp...

Simple

After the countless videos, watching the performances by passing Tango teachers, performances by stage Tango dancers, sitting and absorbing Milongas, the one couple that sticks in my mind has to be T and his fiance who met through Tango in Argentina. Their seamless blending, the fact that she didn't even need to be wearing shoes and their swapping of roles. Even though I was exposed to this early on the clueless beginnings of Tango, you could already appreciate the intimacy between the two. In hindsight after a bit more experience, it becomes even clearer that, that would be the ultimate Tango experience. It's like staring at something without the tools to understand it, then later when you come back with the tools in hand, it hits you, "ah hah!" that's what it is! It's like being told, "this will be useful in life later, trust me", and staring at math sets that have no correlation with your life, until later when you're facing a job assessme...
