Letra del Tango Canaro en París

Dejaste esta tierra
de preciosas campiñas
los dorados trigales
que brillan bajo el sol.
El pingo y la guitarra
que vos tanto querías
parece que dirían:
qué ingrato corazón.

No te acuerdas, china, de tu rancho
tu madrecita que allí vivía;
te pasaste muchos días
juntito a ella y con amor; luego después
te marchaste sin decir nada,
ella de tristezas está
consumiéndose de a poco; y tal vez se enfermará.

Te fuiste de aquí
y con dolor has de llorar, mujer,
ingrato París
has robado a mi querer
tus luces serán
su perdición; y en el bullicio del champán
la ingrata olvidará
que aquí con gran dolor, lloramos por su mal.

En mi pecho dejaste una herida
que jamás podrá cicatrizarse,
te olvidaste que yo un día
en mis brazos te estreché con loco amor
y aquí en la sombra de tu rancho
donde me juraste amor eterno
nunca yo podré olvidar
y en silencio he de llevarte, grabada en mi corazón.

Volvé, china a mis pagos
que cuando el sol asoma
es bella la alborada
cargada de arrebol;
y el campo color de oro
nos muestra, china mía,
esta tierra querida
que es todo mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Canaro en París"

You left this land
of precious meadows
the golden wheat fields
that shine under the sun.
The horse and the guitar
that you loved so much
seem to say:
what an ungrateful heart.

Don’t you remember, darling, your little house
your mother who lived there;
you spent so many days
close to her and with love; then after
you left without saying anything,
she is slowly wasting away from sadness; and maybe will fall ill.

You left here
and with pain you shall cry, woman,
ungrateful Paris
has stolen my love
your lights shall be
her downfall; and in the bustle of champagne
the ungrateful one will forget
that here with great sorrow, we cry for her plight.

You left a wound in my heart
that can never heal,
you forgot that one day
in my arms I embraced you with wild love
and here in the shadow of your house
where you swore eternal love to me
I will never be able to forget
and in silence I shall bear you, engraved in my heart.

Come back, dear, to my place
where when the sun rises
the dawn is beautiful
laden with red hues;
and the field gold in color
shows us, my darling,
this beloved land
that is all my heart.
