[Tango-L] New tango texts?

[Jeff Gaynor]

Yo!

I've been thinking. Now before you all defenestrate, I was thinking that 
since I don't speak Spanish I miss a lot of what happens in tango, 
milongas and such. Obviously the first thing to do is look at some 
translations, but, that really doesn't quite work. Many of them are too 
idiomatic to really give more than a sense of what is meant. Having a 
long running commentary to illuminate the meaning completely spoils the 
impact in performance. Not good.  So what is my point of this post?

-> Can anyone point me at some English texts that would make good lyrics 
for tango, milonga or vals? <-

These should be idiomatic in English. I'm just curious as what the 
bilingual speakers on this list would count in this category.  These may 
or may not be in other songs or pulled from literature. What I'm looking 
for is immediate cognition viz., you hear it and think "this would make 
a good tango" etc.

Cheers,

Jeff
