A famous tango.

"The cumparsita" If you knew, that even within my soul, I keep that affection that I had for you... Who knows if you knew that I have never forgotten you, going back to your past you will remember me... Friends don't come anymore not even to visit me, no one wants to comfort me in my affliction... From the day you left I feel anguish in my chest, I said, percanta, what have you done? of my poor heart? However I always remember you with holy affection that I had for you. And you are everywhere, piece of my life, and those eyes that were my joy I look for them everywhere and I can't find them. To the abandoned parrot not even the morning sun peeks out of the window as when you were, and that companion puppy, that by your absence he did not eat, seeing me alone the other day he also left me...

La cumparsita

Si supieras,
que aún dentro de mi alma,
conservo aquel cariño
que tuve para ti...
Quién sabe si supieras
que nunca te he olvidado,
volviendo a tu pasado
te acordarás de mí...

Los amigos ya no vienen
ni siquiera a visitarme,
nadie quiere consolarme
en mi aflicción...
Desde el día que te fuiste
siento angustias en mi pecho,
decí, percanta, ¿qué has hecho
de mi pobre corazón?

Sin embargo,
yo siempre te recuerdo
con el cariño santo
que tuve para ti.
Y estás en todas partes,
pedazo de mi vida,
y aquellos ojos que fueron mi alegría
los busco por todas partes
y no los puedo hallar.

Al cotorro abandonado
ya ni el sol de la mañana
asoma por la ventana
como cuando estabas vos,
y aquel perrito compañero,
que por tu ausencia no comía,
al verme solo el otro día
también me dejó...

One can see why the Tango was banned.

In the penultimate picture there is a woman on the right who is straight out of Renoir, or is it Gaugin?

Gaugin was fond of bright colours. I take it you refer to the woman with the red gloves on?
