Letra del Tango Al compás del corazón (Late un corazón)

Late un corazón,
déjalo latir…
Miente mi soñar,
déjame mentir…
Late un corazón
porque he de verte
nuevamente,
miente mi soñar
porque regresas lentamente.

Late un corazón…
me parece verte regresar con el adiós.
Y al volver gritarás tu horror,
el ayer, el dolor, la nostalgia,
pero al fin bajarás la voz
y atarás tu ansiedad de distancias.
Y sabrás por qué late un corazón
al decir… ¡Qué feliz!…
Y un compás, y un compás de amor
unirá para siempre el adiós.

Ya verás, amor,
qué feliz serás…
¿Oyes el compás?
Es el corazón.
Ya verás qué dulces
son las horas del regreso,
ya verás qué dulces los reproches y los besos.
Ya verás, amor,
qué felices horas al compás del corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Al compás del corazón (Late un corazón)"

A heart beats,
let it beat…
My dreams lie,
let me lie…
A heart beats
because I shall see you
once more,
my dreams lie
because you return slowly.

A heart beats…
I seem to see you return with goodbye.
And in returning, you’ll scream your horror,
yesterday, the pain, the nostalgia,
but in the end, you’ll lower your voice
and bind your distance anxiety.
And you’ll know why a heart beats
when saying… How happy!…
And a rhythm, a rhythm of love
will unite the goodbye forever.

You’ll see, my love,
how happy you’ll be…
Do you hear the rhythm?
It’s the heart.
You’ll see how sweet
the hours of return are,
you’ll see how sweet the reproaches and kisses are.
You’ll see, my love,
how happy the hours are in the heart’s rhythm.
