Español
Ven a bailar, que quiero hablarte,
aparte de tus amigas.
Quiero que escuches mi fracaso
y que en mis brazos el tango sigas.
Después de un año vuelvo a hallarte
y al verte me pongo triste,
porque esta noche he de contarte
que por perderte sufro de amor.
Quien sufre por amor comprende este dolor,
este dolor que nos embarga.
Quien sufre por amor comprenderá el dolor
que viene a herir como una daga.
Te tuve y te perdí
y yo qué soy sin ti.
Quien sufre por amor comprenderá mejor
por qué solloza el bandoneón.
(Instrumental)
Con su gemir de corazones
los bandoneones lloran su pena,
igual que yo sollozan ellos,
porque en sus notas hay amores
y por amores hoy sufro yo.
English
Come to dance, I want to speak with you,
away from your friends.
I want you to hear my failure
and to follow the tango in my arms.
After a year I see you again
and it makes me sad seeing you
because tonight I have to tell you
that I suffer from love since I lost you.
Those who suffer for love understand this pain,
this pain that overwhelms us.
Those who suffer for love understand the pain,
that comes to hurt like a dagger.
I had you and I lost you
and what am I without you.
Those who suffer for love will understand better
why the bandoneon sobs.
(Instrumental)
With its moan of hearts
bandoneons cry out its sorrow,
same as me they cry, too,
because in their notes there's love
and for love I suffer today.
