Recorded by Carlos Di Sarli with Alberto Podestá in 1942
Español
En el haber de los años
he marcado los cincuenta
y de anotar desengaños
ya he perdido hasta la cuenta.
Mas no soy de los que gritan
y se irritan con sus penas,
sigo creyendo en el amor, en la alegría,
en la amistad y en la bondad de Dios.
Entre pitada y pitada,
yo supe curar dolores.
Entre pitada y pitada,
yo pude olvidar amores.
El tiempo me ha demostrado
que el humo ayuda a olvidar.
Y entre pitada y pitada
la vida me ve pasar.
(Instrumental)
Entre pitada y pitada,
yo supe curar dolores.
Entre pitada y pitada,
yo pude olvidar amores.
El tiempo me ha demostrado
que el humo ayuda a olvidar.
Y entre pitada y pitada
la vida me ve pasar.
English
In the balance of years
I already reached fifty
and of tracking disappointments
I already lost count.
But I'm not one of those who shouts
and gets irritated with his sorrows,
I still believe in love, in happiness,
in friendship and in the kindness of God.
Between a puff and a puff
I knew how to heal my pain.
Between a puff and a puff,
I could forget love stories.
Time has shown me
that the smoke helps to forget.
And between a puff and a puff
life watches me passing by.
(Instrumental)
Between a puff and a puff
I knew how to heal my pain.
Between a puff and a puff
I could forget love stories.
Time has shown me
that the smoke helps to forget.
And between a puff and a puff
life watches me passing by.
