Letra del Tango Compañero

Cuando el amor, compañero,
llega a adueñarse del pecho,
hasta que no lo ha deshecho
no lo abandona jamás;
y que la virgen lo tenga
bajo su amparo sagrado
al pecho ya esclavizado
que sufre en silencio el dolor,
dolor tan tenaz.

Nací, como el clavel del aire,
besó mis sienes el pampero,
me dio con su canción el jilguero,
lección de tierno y dulce amor;
dejé los cariñosos lares
y tras de la pasión mentida,
rodé, golpeándome en la vida,
el alma de tu guitarra
agonizando en mi reja,
volcó tan sentidas quejas
que no las olvidaré.
Y por tu bien, comprendo,
quizá no podré quererte,
sería enlutar tu suerte
y nunca la enlutaré.

Que me olvides te lo pido,
no me lleves en tus venas,
vos no sabés que a mis penas
más amargura le das;
yo, vagabunda en la vida
sin una luz en mi cielo,
busco también el consuelo
que encierra el olvido
y no lo hallo jamás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Compañero"

When love, companion,
takes over the chest,
until it has shattered it
it never leaves;
and may the virgin keep it
under her sacred protection
the already enslaved chest
that suffers the pain in silence,
such tenacious pain.

I was born, like the carnation in the air,
the pampero kissed my temples,
the finch with his song gave me
lessons of tender and sweet love;
I left the caring homes
and after the deceitful passion,
I stumbled, hitting myself in life,
the soul of your guitar
dying on my window,
poured out such heartfelt complaints
that I will never forget.
And for your sake, I understand,
maybe I won’t be able to love you,
it would darken your luck
and I will never darken it.

I ask you to forget me,
do not carry me in your veins,
you don’t know that you make my sorrows
even more bitter;
I, a vagabond in life
without a light in my sky,
also seek the consolation
that forgetting contains
and I never find it.
