Letra del Tango Che bandoneón

El duende de tu son, che bandoneón,
se apiada del dolor de los demás,
y al estrujar tu fueye dormilón
se arrima al corazón que sufre más.
Estercita y Mimí como Ninón,
dejando sus destinos de percal
vistieron al final mortajas de rayón,
al eco funeral de tu canción.

Bandoneón,
hoy es noche de fandango
y puedo confesarte la verdad,
copa a copa, pena a pena, tango a tango,
embalado en la locura
del alcohol y la amargura.
Bandoneón,
para qué nombrarla tanto,
no ves que está de olvido el corazón
y ella vuelve noche a noche como un canto
en las gotas de tu llanto,
¡che bandoneón!

Tu canto es el amor que no se dio
y el cielo que soñamos una vez,
y el fraternal amigo que se hundió
cinchando en la tormenta de un querer.
Y esas ganas tremendas de llorar
que a veces nos inundan sin razón,
y el trago de licor que obliga a recordar
si el alma está en ‘orsai’, che bandoneón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Che bandoneón"

The spirit of your sound, oh bandoneon,
takes pity on the pain of others far and near,
and as you squeeze your sleepy bellows out,
it touches the heart that suffers most, it’s clear.
Estercita and Mimi, just like Ninon,
leaving their plain fates to fate’s hard steer,
ended up clad in rayon burial gowns,
to the funeral echo of your mournful sounds.

Bandoneon,
tonight is a night of revelry
and I can confess the truth to you,
glass by glass, sorrow by sorrow, tango by tango,
caught in the madness
of alcohol and bitterness.
Bandoneon,
why mention her name over and over,
don’t you see that the heart is set on forgetting,
and yet she returns night after night like a song
in the drops of your tears,
oh bandoneon!

Your song is the love that never came to be
and the heaven we once dreamed of from afar,
and the brotherly friend who sunk down,
struggling in the storm of a love so marred.
And those tremendous urges to weep
that sometimes overcome us without reason,
and the sip of liquor that forces us to remember
if the soul is offside, oh bandoneon.
