Lyrics
Español
Suena tango compañero, suena que quiero cantar, porque esta noche la espero y sé que no ha de llegar. Y en esta copa de ajenjo en vano pretendo mis penas ahogar. Suena tango compañero, suena que quiero llorar. Pensar que la quise tanto y embrujao por sus encantos hoy perdí la dignidad. Soy un borracho perdido que en la copa del olvido busca su felicidad. Son caprichos del destino, que lo quiso una mujer, si está marcado mi sino quién sabe si ha de volver... ¡Pero yo la esperaré! Suena tango compañero, como una recordación. Si lloro porque la quiero, son cosas del corazón. Sirva otra copa de ajenjo que a nadie le importa si quiero tomar. Porque esta noche la espero y sé que no ha de llegar.
English · machine translation
Sounds tango partner, sounds that I want to sing, because tonight I'm waiting for her and I know it won't come. And in this glass of absinthe in vain I try to drown my sorrows. It sounds tango companion, it sounds that I want to cry. To think that I loved her so much and bewitched by her charms today I lost my dignity. I am a lost drunkard who in the cup of oblivion seeks his happiness. They are whims of destiny, that a woman wanted it, if my fate is marked who knows if she will return... But I will wait for her! Sounds tango companion, like a remembrance. If I cry because I love her, it's things of the heart. Pour another glass of absinthe that nobody cares if I want to drink. Because tonight I wait for her and I know she won't come.
