Letra del Tango Corazón encadenado

Sé que todos dicen que ya te he olvidado…

Sé que piensan todos, que mi amor ha muerto…

Sé que todos creen que, de aquel pasado;

que, de tus caricias, ya no hay ni un recuerdo.

Sé que, como todos, crees en mi olvido,

sin saber que vivo solamente para ti,

frente a tu recuerdo, con tu imagen ante mí.



Si preguntas a la noche,

te dirá por quién deliro;

si preguntas a los aires,

te dirán por quién suspiro.

Murmurar tu nombre, me oye el ave,

y las horas saben mi alucinación.

Vivo prisionero de tus negros ojos,

que han encadenado a mi pobre corazón.



Sé que para el mundo, todo ya ha pasado…

Sé que se murmura que ya no te quiero…

Sé que, como todos, piensas que he borrado

de mis pensamientos esos juramentos.

Sé que el vaso rojo de tu boca fresca

lucirá el aroma del recuerdo y la emoción,

que encerró aquel beso que ocultara tu balcón…

English lyrics of the Tango "Corazón encadenado"

I know that everyone says I’ve forgotten you…

I know that everyone thinks, my love has died…

I know that everyone believes from that past;

from your caresses, there’s not even a memory left.

I know that, like everyone, you believe in my forgetting,
not knowing that I live only for you,
facing your memory, with your image before me.

If you ask the night,
it will tell you who I long for;
if you ask the air,
it will tell you who I sigh for.
The bird hears me murmur your name,
and the hours know my delusion.
I live prisoner of your dark eyes,
which have chained my poor heart.

I know that for the world, all is past…
I know it’s whispered that I no longer love you…
I know that, like everyone, you think I’ve erased
from my thoughts those vows.
I know the red glass of your fresh mouth
will wear the scent of memory and emotion,
that captured that kiss hidden by your balcony…
