Lyrics
Español
La vi llegar... ¡Caricia de su mano breve! La vi llegar... ¡Alondra que azotó la nieve! Tu amor -pude decirle- se funde en el misterio de un tango acariciante que gime por los dos. Y el bandoneón -¡rezongo amargo en el olvido!- lloró su voz, que se quebró en la densa bruma. Y en la desesperanza, tan cruel como ninguna, la vi partir sin la palabra del adiós. Era mi mundo de ilusión... Lo supo el corazón, que aún recuerda siempre su extravío?. Era mi mundo de ilusión y se perdió de mí, sumándome en la sombra del dolor. Hay un fantasma en la noche interminable. Hay un fantasma que ronda en mi silencio. Es el recuerdo de su voz, latir de su canción, la noche de su olvido y su rencor. La vi llegar... ¡Murmullo de su paso leve! La vi llegar... ¡Aurora que borró la nieve! Perdido en la tiniebla, mi paso vacilante la busca en mi terrible carnino de dolor. Y el bandoneón dice su nombre en su gemido, con esa voz que la llamó desde el olvido. Y en este desencanto brutal que me condena la vi partir, sin la palabra del adiós...

I saw her arrive... Caress of her brief hand! I saw her coming... Lark that whipped the snow! Your love -I was able to tell her- melts in the mystery of a caressing tango that moans for both of us. And the bandoneon -bitter rhyme in oblivion! cried his voice, which broke in the dense mist. And in despair, as cruel as no other, I saw her depart without the word of farewell. It was my world of illusion... The heart knew it, that still always remembers her loss.... It was my world of illusion and it was lost from me, adding me to the shadow of pain. There is a ghost in the endless night. There is a ghost that haunts my silence. It is the memory of her voice, the beat of her song, the night of her oblivion and her rancor. I saw her coming... Murmur of her light step! I saw her coming... Aurora that erased the snow! Lost in the darkness, my faltering footsteps seeks her in my terrible ram of pain. And the bandoneon calls her name in its moan, with that voice that called her from oblivion. And in this brutal disenchantment that condemns me I saw her leave, without the word of goodbye...
