Lyrics

Español

Sigan, muchachos, la fiesta Cantando y bailando Al compás de la orquesta. En esta noche de tango Quiero dejar de penarla, Quiero poder olvidarla Y del corazón Quiero arrancarla. En esta alegre verbena Siento que se va Mi enorme pena. Sigan, muchachos, la fiesta Que siento que mi alma Empieza a olvidar. Sin embargo, Estoy mintiendo mis amigos, Y es mentira mi alegría Y es mentira que la olvido. El tango canta, Y hasta el tango me la nombra, El tango llora Y aparece entre las sombras. Lo que digo, es de los labios para afuera Y es mentira porque quiero Recordarla aunque me muera. Perdón muchachos Con mentiras ya no puedo Ocultar su amor y mi dolor.

English · machine translation

Keep the party going, boys and girls Singing and dancing To the beat of the orchestra. On this tango night I want to stop grieving her, I want to be able to forget her And from the heart I want to tear her away. In this joyful verbena I feel that it's going away My enormous sorrow. Keep the party going, boys I feel that my soul Is beginning to forget. However, I'm lying my friends, And it's a lie my joy And it's a lie that I forget it. The tango sings, And even the tango names her to me, The tango cries And appears in the shadows. What I say, is from the lips outwards And it's a lie because I want To remember her even if I die. Sorry guys With lies I can no longer Hide her love and my pain.
