A new milonga has recently opened up in Sydney called Tinta Roja. Tinta Roja means red ink in Spanish, and the dominant colour theme of the venue's interior is red. 

Here's a popular tango song by the same name, which has no doubt also inspired the name choice.

translated by Derrick del Pilar 

A big stone wall,¹
red ink over yesterday’s grey,
the emotion
of your happy bricks
over my little alleyway
took a blot
and painted the corner
and that cop
who in the depths of night
walked the borders of his beat
like a badge…

And that lipstick-red mailbox
and the corner bar
where the Italian used to cry
over his distant blonde lover,
soaking himself in bon vin.²

What has become of my arrabal? ³
Who has stolen my childhood?
On what corner, moon of mine,
do you spill out your clear joy
like you used to?

Sidewalks that I have tread,
gangsters that now are gone—
under your cloudless satin sky
a little piece of my heart
whiles the night away.

Here's the song in Spanish...

Tinta roja
Paredón,
tinta roja en el gris del ayer,
tu emoción
de ladrillo feliz
sobre mi callejón
con un borrón
pintó la esquina
y al botón
que en el ancho de la noche
puso al filo de la ronda
como un broche…

Y aquel buzón carmín,
y aquel fondín
donde lloraba el tano
su rubio amor lejano
que mojaba con bon vin.

¿Dónde estará mi arrabal?
¿Quién se robó mi niñez?
¿En qué rincón, luna mía,
volcás como entonces
tu clara alegría?

Veredas que yo pisé,
malevos que ya no son—
bajo tu cielo de raso
trasnocha un pedazo
de mi corazón.
