Español
Se atora el tango en sus venas
y en mis penas se arrincona.
Y en el sonar que desgarra
se hacen garra sus aromas.
La flor ausente del amor
en mi dolor clavó su espina.
Ya nunca más he de volver
a su querer, ni a aquella esquina.
Se atora el tango cansado y a su lado muero yo.
Hoy al recordarla, en el alma siento
que llegan lamentos de amores lejanos.
Y en los bandoneones noto que enredadas
las notas cansadas me dicen hermano.
Hoy al recordarla iré en mi locura
por calles oscuras que saben mi angustia.
¡Qué noche más triste!, surgen los recuerdos
y en sombras me pierdo
llorando su amor.
Se atora el tango cansado y a su lado muero yo.
English
The tango stumbles in its veins
and in my sorrows gets cornered.
And in the sound that tears its aromas
become like claws.
The absent flower of love
nailed its thorn in my pain.
I will never return again
to her love nor to that corner.
The tired tango stumbles and I die beside it.
Today as I remember her, in the soul I feel
that laments of faraway loves arrive.
And in the bandoneons I notice that
the entangled tired notes call me brother.
Today as I remember her, I will go crazy
on dark streets that know my anguish.
What a sad night!, the memories arise
and in the shadows I get lost
crying for her love.
The tired tango stumbles and I die beside it.
