Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Buena como nadie, linda como el sol, reinaba por su pinta en el salón. Bailando un tango nació nuestro romance, mientras la orquesta tocaba estos compases. Cuatro compases que alegraron mi triste corazón con un divino amor. Tango milongón, suave y , que puso el encanto entre mis brazos. Hoy, junto al calor de su tierno amor enterré la angustia de un fracaso. Ya no lloro la maldad de aquélla; ¡ahora vivo tan feliz con ella! Suena bandoneón, que mi corazón quiere esos compases recordar. Buena como nadie, linda como el sol, me trajo la alegría de su amor. Se ha iluminado de nuevo el alma mía al son de un tango que escucho todavía. Cuatro compases milongueros que fueron la emoción de un nuevo y dulce amor.
English · machine translation
Good as anyone, pretty as the sun, she reigned by her looks in the salon. Dancing a tango our romance was born, while the orchestra played these bars. Four bars that gladdened my sad heart with a divine love. Tango milongón, soft and compadrón, that put the charm between my arms. Today, next to the warmth of his tender love I buried the anguish of a failure. I no longer mourn the wickedness of that one; now I live so happily with her! Bandoneon sounds, that my heart wants to remember those bars. Good as no one, beautiful as the sun, She brought me the joy of her love. My soul has been illuminated again to the sound of a tango I still listen to. Four milonguero bars that were the emotion of a new and sweet love.
