Lyrics

Español

Hoy la vi después de un año, hoy se cruzó por mi herida. Iba hermosa mi muñeca mimosa, iba al lado de otro dueño, mi sueño; aquel sueño de mi vida. Pero era igual su corazón que en mi amor siempre está, y en mis noches sin estrellas ella es mi gran dolor. Ella es una sombra que nubla mi frente cuando, sin querer, la nombra. Es mi pasado, es mi presente. Y yo no puedo borrarla de mi mente. Ella en mis cuartetas, ella en mis angustias, ella en mi dolor de poeta; como raíces de tango grises, ella está en mi corazón. Otra vez llega el invierno, y mi vivir sin amores. Ya no suena su llamado esperado, y no escucho sus ternuras, tan puras. ¡Qué vacío me he quedado! Pero es igual, corazón, en mi amor siempre está, de ella son mis versos tristes tangos de dolor.

English · machine translation

Today I saw her after a year, today she crossed my wound. She was beautiful, my cuddly doll, she was next to another owner, my dream; that dream of my life. But her heart was the same that is always in my love, and in my starless nights she is my great pain. She is a shadow that clouds my forehead when, unwittingly, I name her. She is my past, she is my present. And I cannot erase her from my mind. She in my quatrains, she in my anguish, she in my poet's pain; like gray tango roots, she is in my heart. Winter comes again, and my living without love. Her long awaited call no longer sounds, and I don't hear her tenderness, so pure. How empty I am left! But it's all the same, my heart, she is always in my love, of her are my sad verses tangos of pain.
