Letra del Tango Como se muere de amor

En una casita blanca
con ventanal al jardín,
se oye muy suave, a lo lejos,
la armonía de un violín.
Es una casita blanca,
una mesita, una flor,
varias sillas distraídas
que contemplan aburridas
a un enfermito de amor.

Eternamente,
una sonrisa,
por su boca se desliza
impregnada de dolor.
Y en su mirada
serena y pura,
hay un libro de amargura
y una novela de amor.

Luego, misteriosamente,
llega hasta allí una mujer
y con un beso en la frente
vuelca todo su querer…
Todos han enmudecido
y contemplan con dolor
en el frío rostro de ella
donde está impresa la huella
del que se muere de amor…

Y los violines
en un suspiro
van diciendo: ‘Yo me inspiro
en un poema de ilusión’,
muy quedamente
cual si temiesen
que sus trinos ofendiesen
el ritmo de una oración.

English lyrics of the Tango "Como se muere de amor"

In a small white house
with a window overlooking the garden,
softly in the distance can be heard
the harmony of a violin.
It’s a small white house,
a little table, a flower,
several distracted chairs
that watch in boredom
a sick man of love.

Eternally,
a smile
slides across his mouth
soaked with pain.
And in his gaze
serene and pure,
there’s a book of bitterness
and a novel of love.

Then, mysteriously,
a woman arrives there
and with a kiss on the forehead
pours out all her love…
Everyone has gone silent
and they watch in pain
on her cold face
where the mark is imprinted
of one who is dying of love…

And the violins
in a sigh
keep saying: ‘I draw inspiration
from a poem of illusion’,
very softly
as if they feared
their trills might offend
the rhythm of a prayer.
