Letra del Tango Bandoneón amigo

Bandoneón amigo
con tus teclas dije penas y alegrías
Bandoneón amigo
en tu fueye se amontonan horas mías.
Te acordás del día que escuché
su dulce voz, pasaron los años.
Y seguís en mi destino
volcando tu cansado son,
mi bandoneón

Una noche en la calle más vieja
donde queden rosadas esquinas,
buscaremos, como antes, la reja
del malvón, el rosal, la glicina.
Embriagado de sombras y flores
dirás, como antaño, dolientes amores.
Y al milagro de un mágico engaño
tendremos veinte años, igual que otra vez.

Bandoneón amigo
una vez llegó el amor a nuestro lado.
Bandoneón amigo
la enredaste en tu gemir apasionado.
Te acordás qué linda era su voz
cuando juró mentiras y olvidos.
Sólo estás vos a mi lado
gimiendo tu cansado son, mi bandoneón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Bandoneón amigo"

Bandoneon, my friend
with your keys, I spoke of sorrows and joys
Bandoneon, my friend
your bellows stack up hours of mine.
Remember the day I heard
her sweet voice, the years have passed.
And you continue in my fate
pouring out your tired sound,
my bandoneon.

One night on the oldest street
where pink corners remain,
we will search, as before, for the gate
of geranium, the roses, the wisteria.
Intoxicated by shadows and flowers
you’ll speak, as of old, of painful loves.
And by the miracle of a magical deception
we’ll be twenty years old, just like once before.

Bandoneon, my friend
once love came to our side.
Bandoneon, my friend
you entangled her in your passionate moan.
Remember how lovely her voice was
when she swore lies and forgetfulness.
Only you are by my side
moaning your tired sound, my bandoneon.
