Lyrics
These are the song’s words. This take is instrumental.
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Pa' que bailen los muchachos via' tocarte, bandoneón. ¡La vida es una milonga! Bailen todos, compañeros, porque el baile es un abrazo: Bailen todos, compañeros, que este tango lleva el paso. Entre el lento ir y venir del tango va la frase dulce. Y ella baila en otros brazos, prendida, rendida, por otro amor. No te quejes, bandoneón, Que me duele el corazón. Quien por celos va sufriendo su cariño va diciendo. No te quejes, bandoneón, que esta noche toco yo. Pa' que bailen los muchachos hoy te toco, bandoneón. ¡La vida es una milonga! Ella fue como una madre, ella fue mi gran cariño... nos abrimos y no sabe que hoy la lloro como un niño... Quién la va a saber querer con tanto amor, como la quise. Pobre amiga, pobre , ¡qué ganas más locas de irte a buscar! Pa' que bailen los muchachos via' tocarte, bandoneón. ¡La vida es una milonga!
English · machine translation
For the boys to dance via' tocarte, bandoneon. Life is a milonga! Everybody dance, comrades, because dancing is an embrace: Dance all of you, comrades, that this tango carries the step. Between the slow comings and goings of the tango goes the sweet phrase. And she dances in other arms, caught up, surrendered, for another love. Don't complain, bandoneon, That my heart aches. Whoever suffers from jealousy his love is saying. Don't complain, bandoneon tonight I'm playing. For the boys to dance today I'll play for you, bandoneon. Life is a milonga! She was like a mother, she was my great love... we opened up and she doesn't know that today I cry for her like a child... Who will know how to love her with as much love as I loved her. Poor friend, poor girl, what a crazy desire to go looking for you! For the boys to dance via' tocarte, bandoneon. Life is a milonga!
