Lyrics

Español

Yo llevo el tango en mi vida Como una garra, Hincada en la carne viva de mi emoción. Se me ha metido en el alma La voz amarga del bandoneón. Un drama de tango triste, fue su desvío, Por rumbos de sueños viejos Se fue su amor. Y el tango llora conmigo, Los cien motivos de pena Que él me dejó. El tango me pone triste No lo puedo remediar, Hay rencor de herida abierta Y emoción de pena vieja En su grave rezongar. El tango me pone triste Porque soy sentimental, Es su voz la de un amigo Que revive los motivos De mi drama pasional. Por el ojal de la herida Que es un recuerdo, Se cuela la voz amarga del bandoneón. Y se confunde su pena Con esta pena que tengo yo. Llegó a mi vida llorando Cosa que olvida, Se fue cantando alegrías del corazón. Y yo he quedado sufriendo El hondo drama de tango Que él me dejó.

English · machine translation

I carry tango in my life Like a claw, Sticking in the living flesh of my emotion. The bitter voice of the bandoneon The bitter voice of the bandoneon. A sad tango drama, was its detour, Through paths of old dreams His love is gone. And the tango cries with me, The hundred reasons of sorrow That he left me. The tango makes me sad I can't help it, There's the rancor of an open wound And emotion of old sorrow In its grave grumbling. Tango makes me sad Because I am sentimental, Its voice is that of a friend That revives the motives Of my passionate drama. Through the buttonhole of the wound Which is a memory, The bitter voice of the bandoneon slips through. And his sorrow is confused With this sorrow that I have. He came into my life crying Something he forgets, He left singing joys of the heart. And I have been left suffering The deep drama of tango That he left me.
