I am moved totears when I hear these beautiful Tangos! even though I cannot understad the lyrics, ( and I thank the person that translated a few verses - it is beautiful and nostalgic...it brings me back to the time when I was growing up, in Buenos Aires; In those days (in the forties) Argentina was getting emmigrants from all over the world and I remember my Polish and Russian, and Austrian neighbours listening to this kind of music...

Thank you! +10

And I am moved be your sensitive reception !

And may promise that this tango will appear on my channel in original, German version, within a month or two...-

Till that time, perhaps you may find still something interesting for you in my present corner.

Dziękuję !

I'm developing a real liking for this kind of music which, when I live, is just about available only on YouTube. Thanks for this video.

It is pleasure for me to see you here !

I observe that for Anglo-Americans (if I can generalize that way) these things are usually unknown and therefore sometimes 'exotic'...:)

[Matvey57]

В те года можно было записать...песни оккупантов...а с приходом демократии уж больше нет таких прекрасных песен...

I don't know why, but I noticed your video today the first time. This recording is wonderful. If I didn't know that this tune is by Schmidseder, I would think it is Russian origin.
