Letra del Tango Bailate un tango Ricardo

Le saco orilla a mi vida para arrimarla a tu muerte.
Total la vida es la suerte que se da por el retardo
medio haragán de la muerte y yo estoy ya que me ardo
por gritarte fuerte, fuerte ¡bailate un tango, Ricardo!

(Ricardo Güiraldes baila y el ángel del recuerdo lo acompaña
se manda una medialuna y un intenso puente macho
rubricando Buenos Aires de arrabal con Pampa y Tango).

¡Bailate un tango, Ricardo! Miralo a quien te lo grita
pues no es ninguna pavada, ese muchacho es el bardo,
el de La Crencha Engrasada. De la Púa ahora te invita;
¡bailate un tango, Ricardo!

(Ricardo Güiraldes baila saliéndose de la vida…
al bailar lleva dormida como antaño a las mujeres
a la muerte que murmura perdida en el entresueño,
bailate un tango, Ricardo)

English lyrics of the Tango "Bailate un tango Ricardo"

I edge my life to reach toward your death.
After all, life is just the chance given by the slow,
somewhat lazy delay of death and I am burning up,
to shout loudly, dance a tango, Ricardo!

(Ricardo Güiraldes dances and the angel of memory accompanies him,
he performs a crescent step and a fierce bridge,
emblazoning Buenos Aires with suburb, Pampa, and Tango).

Dance a tango, Ricardo! Look at who is shouting it to you,
for it’s not trivial, that young man is the poet,
the one with the slicked-back hair. De la Púa now invites you;
dance a tango, Ricardo!

(Ricardo Güiraldes dances out of life…
in his dance, he carries women asleep as in the old days,
to death that murmurs, lost in a dreamlike state,
dance a tango, Ricardo.)
