Lyrics

Español

Luna, farol y canción, dulce emoción del ayer fue en París, donde viví tu amor. Tango, Champagne, corazón, noche de amor que no está, en mi sueño vivirá... Es como debe ser, con ilusión viví las alegrías y las tristezas; en esa noche fue que yo sentí por vos una esperanza en mi corazón. Es como debe ser en la pasión de ley, tus ojos negros y tu belleza. Siempre serás mi amor en bello amanecer para mi vida, dulce ilusión. En este tango te cuento mi tristeza, dolor y llanto que dejo en esta pieza. Quiero que oigas mi canción hecha de luna y de farol y que tu amor, mujer, vuelva hacia mí.

English · machine translation

Moon, lantern and song, sweet emotion of yesterday it was in Paris where I lived your love. Tango, Champagne, heart, night of love that is not here, in my dream will live... It is as it should be, I lived with illusion the joys and the sorrows; on that night I felt for you a hope in my heart. It is as it should be in the passion of law, your black eyes and your beauty. You will always be my love in beautiful sunrise for my life, sweet illusion. In this tango I tell you my sadness, pain and tears that I leave in this piece. I want you to hear my song made of moon and lantern and that your love, woman return to me.
