Lyrics

Español

En hojas de berro, con pluma de llanto, escribió su historia aquel viejo arrabal. Después un bohemio con alma de santo, le puso armonía, lo hizo inmortal. Igual que esos yuyos de humildes veredas, que nacen un día sin causa y razón, así nació el tango y hoy es una estrella que brilla en el cielo de toda emoción. El tango es una historia, cada frase es un recuerdo, cada parte es una vida con una pena escondida y todo el tango es lo nuestro. Emoción que se hace queja en la voz del bandoneón. El tango es siempre una historia que tiene en todas sus hojas palabras del corazón.

English · machine translation

In watercress leaves, with a weeping pen, that old suburb wrote its history. Then a bohemian with the soul of a saint, gave it harmony, made it immortal. Just like those weeds of humble sidewalks, that are born one day without cause and reason, so the tango was born and today it is a star that shines in the sky of all emotion. Tango is a story, each phrase is a memory, each part is a life with a hidden sorrow and the whole tango is ours. Emotion that becomes a complaint in the voice of the bandoneon. Tango is always a story that has in all its leaves words of the heart.
