Lyrics
La cumparsita by Gerardo Matos Rodriguez

La cumparsa
De miserias sin fin
Desfila
En torno de aquel ser
Enfermo
Que pronto ha de morir
De pena.
Por eso es que en su lecho
Solloza acongojado
Recordando el pasado
Que lo hace padecer...

Abandonó a su viejita
Que quedó desamparada,
Y loco de pasión
Ciego de amor
Corrió tras de su amada,
Que era linda, era hechicera
De lujuria era una flor,
Que burló su querer
Hasta que se cansó
Y por otro lo dejó...

Largo tiempo después
Cayó al hogar materno,
Para poder curar su enfermo
Y herido corazón...
Y supo
Que su viejita santa,
La que él había dejado
El invierno pasado
De frío se murió...

Hoy ya solo, abandonado
A lo triste de su suerte,
Ansioso espera a la muerte
Que bien pronto ha de llegar,
Y entre la triste frialdad
Que lenta invade el corazón,
Sintió la cruda sensación
De su maldad...

Entre sombras
Se le oye respirar
Sufriente,
Al que antes de morir
Sonríe
Porque una dulce paz
Le llega...
Sintió que desde el cielo
Su madrecita buena,
Mitigando sus penas
Sus culpas perdonó...!

Shouldn't this was La cumparsita by Carlos Gardel, Released 1930?

Thanks Danilo,
None of the 2 samples available in the link you sent is La cumparsita
I can hear a vals 'Tu vieja ventana' and the tango 'Mano a mano'.
By the way the fake cumparcita is written with a C instead of S, this also appear to be wrong.
if you are looking for Carlos Gardel's versions of la cumparsita there are 3 as far as i know and you will find them here https://www.el-recodo.com/music?T=La%20cumparsita
OR if you have the contributor account, here is the specific advanced search link: https://www.el-recodo.com/music?O=Carlos%20GARDEL&T=La%20cumparsita
May I recommend never relying these online platforms regarding tango data. They are often wrong and confusing.
Thanks for posting this as I am sure many people get wrong with deezer shazam, spotify and others... Here the data is not perfect but we know the cumparSita :-)
Best Regards
