Lyrics

Español

Tango que sos un encanto De quien escucha tus sones, Tango que atraes corazones, Con tus dulces cantos Y tus bandoneones. Sos de cuna humilde, Y has paseado el universo, Sin más protocolo, Que tu música y tus versos, Para abrirte paso Has tenido que ser brujo, Por tus propios medios Lograste tu triunfo. Tango que sos un encanto, Hoy vive tu canto, En mi corazón. ¡Tango!, ¡Tango! Tango bravo, tango lindo, Tango noble, tango guapo Tango hermano De mis largas noches tristes, Compañero de mi pobre corazón. Tango bravo, fascinante, ¡Tango brujo!, Tango bravo, combativo, Tango bravo, Tango gaucho Que a pesar de tanta contra Defendiste con altura, Tu bravura de varón.

English · machine translation

Tango that you are a charm Of those who listen to your sounds, Tango that attracts hearts, With your sweet songs And your bandoneons. You are of humble birth, And you have walked the universe, With no other protocol, Than your music and your verses, To make your way You had to be a sorcerer, By your own means You achieved your triumph. Tango that you are a charm, Today your song lives, In my heart. Tango, Tango! Tango bravo, tango lindo, Tango noble, tango handsome Tango brother Of my long sad nights, Companion of my poor heart. Tango bravo, fascinating, Tango brujo, Tango bravo, combative, Tango bravo, Tango gaucho That in spite of so much against You defended with height, Your bravery as a man.
