Letra del Tango Canción de rango (Pa' que se callen)

Que bailen los que vienen pa’ bailar,

que escuchen los que quieran escuchar.

Pa’ todos hay un tango acompasado,

pretencioso y retobado

reinando en mi ciudad.

Yo canto porque vivo la emoción

del tango cadencioso y compadrón.

Yo canto cuando alguno pega el grito

que hay un tango compadrito

buscando un corazón.



Pa’ que se callen los que andan divulgando

que el tango es triste, que es danza y son del fango.

Pa’ que se callen les voy pasando el dato:

mi tango es danza triste, pero es canción de rango.

Pa’ que se callen les mando en dos por cuatro,

esta cadencia viril que se hace canto.

Si son sensibles, verán que no es del fango

aquel que envuelve en tangos su corazón.



Que bailen los que vienen pa’ bailar,

que sigan escuchando los demás.

Hoy tengo la emoción envuelta en tango

y es por eso que me agrando

al son de su compás.

Yo canto porque vivo la emoción

del tango cadencioso y compadrón.

Yo canto cuando alguno pega el grito

que hay un tango compadrito

buscando un corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Canción de rango (Pa' que se callen)"

Let those come to dance who wish to dance,

let those listen who want to hear.

For everyone there’s a rhythmic tango,

pretentious and cheeky,

reigning in my city.

I sing because I feel the thrill

of the rhythmic, tough tango.

I sing when someone shouts out

that there’s a cheeky tango

searching for a heart.

To silence those who spread the word

that tango is sad, that it’s dance and sound from the muck.

To silence them I pass on the fact:

my tango is a sad dance, but it’s a song of distinction.

To silence them I send in two-four time,

this virile cadence that becomes song.

If they are sensitive, they’ll see it’s not from the muck,

the one that wraps its heart in tangos.

Let those come to dance who wish to dance,

let the rest keep listening.

Today I have the thrill wrapped in tango,

and that’s why I boast

to its beat.

I sing because I feel the thrill

of the rhythmic, tough tango.

I sing when someone shouts out

that there’s a cheeky tango

searching for a heart.
