Letra del Tango Como el hornero

Hace su nido el hornero
a lo largo del camino,
por sostén teniendo un poste,
el motivo es el amor.
Y si manos traicioneras
le destruyen el abrigo,
al otro día, contento,
levanta un nido mejor.

Yo también, como el hornero,
tuve mi abrigo.
Y la mano del destino
lo destruyó.
Al igual que el pajarito,
quedé sin nido,
agobiado por la pena
de mi dolor.

No ha de ser mi noche larga,
tal vez brille en mi sendero,
una estrella de esperanza
con un rayo de ilusión.
Y algún día en mi camino,
al igual que el pobre hornero,
he de hallar un pecho amigo
que me de su corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Como el hornero"

The hornero builds its nest
along the path,
supported by a post,
driven by love.
And if treacherous hands
destroy its shelter,
the very next day, happily,
it builds a better nest.

I, too, like the hornero,
had my shelter.
And the hand of fate
destroyed it.
Just like the little bird,
I was left without a nest,
overwhelmed by the sorrow
of my pain.

My night shall not be long,
perhaps a star of hope
will shine on my path
with a ray of illusion.
And someday on my way,
just like the poor hornero,
I shall find a friendly heart
that gives me its own.
