Lyrics

Español

Riberas que no cambian tocamos al anclar. Cien puertos nos regalan la música del mar. Muchachas de ojos tristes nos vienen a esperar y el gusto de las copas parece siempre igual. Tan sólo aquí en tu puerto se alegra el corazón, Riachuelo donde sangra la voz del bandoneón. Bailemos hasta el eco del último compás, mañana zarpa un barco, tal vez no vuelva más. Qué bien se baila sobre la tierra firme. Mañana al alba tenemos que zarpar. La noche es larga, no quiero que estés triste. Muchacha, vamos... no sé por qué llorás. Diré tu nombre cuando me encuentre lejos. Tendré un recuerdo para contarle al mar. La noche es larga, no quiero que estés triste. Muchacha, vamos... no sé por qué llorás. Dos meses en un barco viajó mi corazón. Dos meses añorando la voz del bandoneón. El tango es puerto amigo donde ancla la ilusión. Al ritmo de su danza se hamaca la emoción. De noche, con la luna, soñando sobre el mar, el ritmo de las olas me miente su compás. Bailemos este tango, no quiero recordar. Mañana zarpa un barco, tal vez no vuelva más.

English · machine translation

Shores that do not change we touch at anchor. A hundred ports give us the music of the sea. Girls with sad eyes come to wait for us and the taste of the drinks seems always the same. Only here in your port the heart rejoices, Riachuelo where the voice of the bandoneon bleeds. Let's dance until the echo of the last bar, tomorrow a ship sails, maybe it will never come back. How well one dances on solid ground. Tomorrow at dawn we have to set sail. The night is long, I don't want you to be sad. Girl, come on... I don't know why you're crying. I'll call your name when I'm far away. I'll have a memory to tell the sea. The night is long, I don't want you to be sad. Girl, come on... I don't know why you're crying. Two months on a boat my heart traveled. Two months longing for the voice of the bandoneon. Tango is a friendly port where illusion anchors. To the rhythm of its dance the emotion is hammocked. At night, with the moon, dreaming on the sea, the rhythm of the waves lies its beat to me. Let's dance this tango, I don't want to remember. Tomorrow a ship sails, maybe it won't come back.
