The song was originally made famous by the singer Milva. Maria Ilva Biolcati (born1939), known as Milva, is an Italian singer, stage, and film actress and television personality. She is also known as ‘La Rossa’, (Italian for ‘The Red’), due to the colour of her hair. In 1984 she performed with Ástor Piazzolla in the show El tango in the Les Bouffes du Nord Theatre in Paris. This was the beginning of a collaboration with Ástor Piazzolla, interpreting the Tango Nuevo.

J’oublie, tango song (vocal arrangement of “Oblivion” by Ástor Piazzolla – from the soundtrack of the Film “Enrico IV”): FRENCH LYRICS & ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Lourds, soudain semblent lourds les draps de velours de ton lit quand j’oublie jusqu’à notre amour… Lourds, soudain semblent lourds tes bras qui m’entourent déjà dans la nuit mon bateau part, s’en va quelque part les gens se séparent, j’oublie, j’oublie… Tard, autre part dans un bar d’acajou des violons nous rejouent notre mélodie, mais j’oublie… Tard, on se sépare dans un joue contre joue tout devient flou et j’oublie Court, le temps semble court le compte à rebours d’une nuit quand j’oublie jusqu’à notre amour… Court, le temps semble court tes doigts qui parcourent ma ligne de vie. Sans un regard, des hommes on s’égare sur un quai de gare, j’oublie, j’oublie… j’oublie, j’oublie

Heavy suddenly seem heavy velvet sheets of your bed when I forget our love… Heavy suddenly seem heavy your arms around me already in the night My boat leaves, goes somewhere separate people, I forget, I forget … Later, the other in a mahogany bar The violins replay our song, but I forget … Later, we split a cheek against cheek everything becomes blurred and I forget Short time seems short the countdown to a night when I forget to love our … Short time seems short your fingers running through my lifeline. Without looking, men are strays on a train platform, I forget, I forget … I forget, I forget
