Lyrics
Español
No llores, no muchacha, la gente está mirando bailemos este tango, el tango del adiós... así entre mis brazos, mirándote a los ojos yo quiero despedirme sin llanto y sin dolor... La vida caprichosa nos puso frente a frente prendiendo en nuestro pecho la hoguera de un querer, mas hoy, la misma vida nos manda separarnos el sueño de querernos, ya ves, no puede ser... Bailemos como antes, cariñito, abrazados, bien juntitos, sólo un alma entre los dos... Bailemos que no vea en tus pupilas una lágrima furtiva, ni una sombra, ni un dolor... Bailemos que después ya sin tus ojos he de arrancar un sollozo por mi amor y por tu amor... Siempre estarás en mi desvelo ¡como una estrella en el cielo prendida en mi corazón! No intentes rebelarte, lo nuestro es imposible, un sueño irrealizable que nunca floreció, qué importa que nos una un mismo sentimiento y encienda nuestras almas la antorcha del amor... Que tengas mucha suerte, que Dios no te abandone, yo sé que a mí me espera la eterna soledad, no tiembles en mis brazos, te ruego me perdones, el tango ya termina... salgamos a llorar...
English · machine translation
Don't cry, don't cry, girl, people are watching let's dance this tango, the tango of goodbye... so in my arms, looking you in the eyes I want to say goodbye without crying and without pain... The capricious life set us face to face igniting in our chest the fire of a love, but today, the same life commands us to separate. the dream of loving each other, you see, it can't be... Let's dance as before, my dearest, embraced, close together, just one soul between the two of us... Let's dance that I don't see in your pupils a furtive tear, not a shadow, not a pain... Let's dance that later without your eyes I'll have to cry out a sob for my love and for your love... Always you will always be in my wakefulness like a star in the sky fixed in my heart! Don't try to rebel, it's impossible for us, an unrealizable dream that never blossomed, what does it matter that we are united by the same feeling and that our souls light the torch of love... May you have good luck, may God never abandon you, I know that eternal solitude awaits me, do not tremble in my arms, I beg you to forgive me, the tango is over... let's go out and cry...
