Letra del Tango Comme il faut

Luna, farol y canción,
dulce emoción del ayer
fue en París,
donde viví tu amor.
Tango, Champagne, corazón,
noche de amor
que no está,
en mi sueño vivirá…

Es como debe ser, con ilusión viví
las alegrías y las tristezas;
en esa noche fue que yo sentí por vos
una esperanza en mi corazón.
Es como debe ser en la pasión de ley,
tus ojos negros y tu belleza.
Siempre serás mi amor en bello amanecer
para mi vida, dulce ilusión.

En este tango
te cuento mi tristeza,
dolor y llanto
que dejo en esta pieza.
Quiero que oigas mi canción
hecha de luna y de farol
y que tu amor, mujer,
vuelva hacia mí.

English lyrics of the Tango "Comme il faut"

Moon, lantern, and song,
sweet emotion of yesterday
was in Paris,
where I lived your love.
Tango, Champagne, heart,
night of love
that’s not here,
in my dream it will live…

That’s how it should be, with hope I lived
the joys and sorrows;
that night I felt for you
a hope in my heart.
That’s how it should be in true passion,
your dark eyes and your beauty.
You will always be my love in the beautiful dawn
for my life, sweet illusion.

In this tango
I tell you my sadness,
pain and tears
that I leave in this piece.
I want you to hear my song
made of moon and lantern
and for your love, woman,
to return to me.
