Letra del Tango Adiós te vas

Hoy que regresas,
tu silbato y el invierno
llama con voces sigilosas al ayer,
tendré encendida la luz de tu recuerdo
y desde el último andén te llamaré.
¡Bajate aquí!… bebe esta copa de ternura
que entre tu ausencia y mi locura corre el tren.

Corre el tren peregrino,
por el viejo camino,
más allá del dolor,
más allá de tu amor,
más allá del destino.
Corre el tren peregrino
por el largo camino,
y en un sueño lejano
vendrás a mi mano
llenando el andén.

Será lo mismo, puede ser, pero en las cosas
hay una triste sensación de no sé qué.
Las mismas lluvias de ayer, no dan más rosas.
Los mismos cielos de ayer, no dan más fe.
¡Adiós… te vas!… Queda el saludo del pañuelo
con que agitabas tu desvelo, desde el tren.

English lyrics of the Tango "Adiós te vas"

Today as you return,
your whistle and the winter
call quietly to yesterday,
I will keep the light of your memory burning
and from the last platform, I will call you.
Get off here!… drink this cup of tenderness
that between your absence and my madness the train runs.

The pilgrim train runs,
along the old path,
beyond the pain,
beyond your love,
beyond destiny.
The pilgrim train runs
down the long road,
and in a distant dream
you will come to my hand
filling the platform.

It will be the same, maybe, but in all things,
there’s a sad sensation of something indefinable.
The same rains of yesterday, yield no more roses.
The same skies of yesterday, inspire no more faith.
Goodbye… you’re leaving!… The handkerchief’s farewell remains
with which you waved your vigil, from the train.
