Lyrics
Español
Vuelve a mí, recuerdo del ayer con el brillar de luces en escena; siempre el mismo fulgor, las viejas candilejas son como estrellas... Otra vez, vibra en la noche aquel sueño de amor y canto del pasado; sombras que corretean por este viejo tablado de ayer. Marquesinas de mis sueños, mil destellos de colores, figuras esculturales, nombres que están olvidados... corre el tiempo y el recuerdo se entrelaza con la pena... el sabor de cosas de antes guardadas con tanto amor... El viejo Maipo nos vio bajo sus luces aquellos días tan llenos de ternuras soñar amores que fueron embeleso... con toda el alma, con toda la ilusión, con estas notas, con este tango triste, quiero contarte teatro de mi pueblo aquello que guardé en mi corazón, tal como lo viví... tan lleno de emoción.
English · machine translation
Come back to me, memory of yesterday with the shining of lights on stage; always the same glow, the old candle lights are like stars... Again, that dream of love and song of the past dream of love and song of the past; shadows that run on this old stage of yesterday. Marquees of my dreams, a thousand flashes of colors, sculptural figures, names that are forgotten... time goes by and the memory intertwines with sorrow... the taste of things of yesteryear kept with so much love... The old Maipo saw us under its lights those days so full of tenderness to dream of loves that were enchantment... with all the soul, with all the illusion, with these notes, with this sad tango, I want to tell you about the theater of my people what I kept in my heart, as I lived it... so full of emotion.
