Lyrics

Español

Un bandoneón grita ¡alerta! muchachos, la orquesta nos dice: a bailar... Mi pecho es la clave de un son que no existe... Me nombran, quién sabe Muguét o Ninón... O es mi pobre Elvira «la de los ojos tristes» que hoy desde el cielo bajó a mi corazón... No me despierten si sueño; muchachos, bailemos ¡que un tango es amor! Caravana... de arlequines somos todos en la vida... que enredados a un amor que nos domina en un tango nos queremos redimir... Noches quietas; luna clara... labios rojos ¡que quemaban! Ella trajo a mi cariño y yo soñaba, ¡pero un día la sentí morir! Ya el bandoneón calla y pienso... muchachos, silencio, que quiero evocar... Hay llanto en mi alma mi amor ya no existe... me olvidan... ¡qué importa! Muguét o Ninón... Si hoy mi pobre Elvira «la de los ojos tristes» con su recuerdo me inflama el corazón... No me despierten si sueño... muchachos, bailemos, ¡que un tango es amor!

English · machine translation

A bandoneón shouts, look out! lads, the orchestra tells us: let's dance... My breast is the key of a sound that doesn't exist... They call me, who knows, Muguet or Ninon... Or is it my poor Elvira "the one with the sad eyes" who today from heaven came down into my heart... Don't wake me if I'm dreaming; lads, let's dance for a tango is love! A caravan... of harlequins that's what we all are in this life... who, tangled in a love that rules us in a tango try to redeem ourselves... Quiet nights; clear moon... red lips that burned! She brought my affection and I dreamed, but one day I felt her die! Now the bandoneón is silent and I think... lads, silence, for I want to remember... There's weeping in my soul my love no longer exists... they forget me... what does it matter! Muguet or Ninon... If today my poor Elvira "the one with the sad eyes" with her memory sets my heart on fire... Don't wake me if I'm dreaming... lads, let's dance, for a tango is love!
