Lyrics
Español
Porteño y bailarín, me hiciste tango, como soy: Romántico y dulzón... Me inspira tu violín, me arrastra el alma de tu compás, me arrulla el bandoneón... Melancólica casita, suspirando amor, le di en tus puertas mi querer, y en tu criolla ventanita recostada al sol, rompió mis cuerdas el ayer. Todo mi drama está en tu voz, manos en adiós, labios en carmín... Por ella y por su amor me hiciste tango, como soy: ¡Porteño y bailarín! Qué importa el sueño, que a mis pupilas roban, las mentidas horas de bailar sin calma. ¡Qué importa el miedo de dar la vida! Si encontrara el beso, que me pide el alma. Hoy se que fueron Tangos, amor y copas, Golondrinas locas, en mi corazón. Porteño y bailarín, resuena tango... que en tu voz hoy vivo un novelón. Su aliento vuelve a mi como esa noche que abracé, su tierno corazón... Mlancólica casita de cristal y azul, si a preguntar vuelve una vez, en tu criolla ventanita transformada en cruz, decile cuánto la loré. Una guitarra, un bordonear, sueños y cantar... ¡Todo se llevó! Porteño y bailarín, me hiciste tango, como soy, romántico y dulzón...
English · machine translation
Porteño and dancer, you made me tango, as I am: Romantic and sweet... I'm inspired by your violin, I'm dragged by the soul of your beat.., the bandoneon lulls me... Melancholic little house, sighing love, I gave my love to your doors, and in your Creole little window leaning against the sun, yesterday broke my strings. All my drama is in your voice, hands in goodbye, lips in carmine... For her and for her love you made me tango, as I am: Porteño and dancer! What does the dream matter? that they steal from my pupils, the lying hours of dancing without calm. What does it matter the fear of giving my life! If I could find the kiss that my soul asks for. Today I know that they were Tangos, love and drinks, Crazy swallows, in my heart. Porteño and dancer, tango resounds... that in your voice today I live a novelón. Your breath returns to me like that night I embraced.., your tender heart... My little house of crystal and blue.., if you ask me once again, in your Creole little window transformed into a cross, tell her how much I loved her. A guitar, a snare, dreams and singing... Everything was taken away! Porteño and dancer, you made me tango, as I am, romantic and sweet...
