Letra del Tango Aqui he venido a cantar

Aquí he venido a cantar,
aunque me sobran motivos
para ponerme a llorar.
Disculpen el sentimiento
que a veces suelo aflojar,
pero es cosa del momento
que en esta vida no hay tiempo
de desahogar un pesar
y yo no debo olvidar,
que aunque me acose un tormento,
aquí he venido a cantar.

Esta es mi vida, cantar
como el pájaro en la rama.
Pero el pájaro no canta,
cuando no quiere
o se calla si lo acosa un malestar.
Esta es mi vida, cantar,
y el que cantando trabaja,
aunque el alma se le parta
por un pesar,
debe cantar nomás.

Aquí he venido a cantar,
aunque por muchas razones
estoy queriendo llorar.
Yo se muy bien que no tengo
derecho a importunar,
confesando sufrimientos.
Así que ruego silencio
que mi canción va a empezar,
pues yo no debo olvidar,
que aunque me muera por dentro,
aquí he venido a cantar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Aqui he venido a cantar"

Here I have come to sing,
though I have many reasons
to start crying.
Excuse the emotion
that sometimes I let loose,
but it’s a matter of the moment
because in this life there’s no time
to relieve a sorrow
and I must not forget,
that though a torment hounds me,
here I have come to sing.

This is my life, to sing
like a bird on a branch.
But the bird does not sing
when it does not want to
or it falls silent if a malaise burdens it.
This is my life, to sing,
and he who sings while working,
even if his soul is split
by sorrow,
must sing regardless.

Here I have come to sing,
though for many reasons
I feel like crying.
I know very well that I have
no right to intrude,
confessing sufferings.
So I ask for silence
for my song is to start,
for I must not forget,
that though I’m dying inside,
here I have come to sing.
