Letra del Tango Corazoncito (Ñafa)

El encanto seductor

de tu risa de cristal,

el perfume de tu amor

y tu gracia espiritual.

Delicadamente, van

endulzando a mi ser

las rosas de tu rosal

que con afán cultivó…



Gustando de tu amistad,

tus virtudes adoré

porque saben inspirar

a mis sentimientos, fe.

“¡Qué lindo es vivir así!”

empapado de placer

acariciando las galas

de tu bendito querer.



Déjame “Corazoncito”

que te tribute mis flores,

símbolo de la pureza

de mis momentos mejores,

dando en mi vivir risueño,

pudo mi sutil empeño

colmar sus aspiraciones,

admirando la grandeza

que refleja la nobleza

de tu divino pensar.



“Corazoncito” triunfal,

tus vivos latidos son

armonía celestial,

pedazos de vibración.

Sentidas notas que dan

horas de satisfacción,

dulces ternuras que estás

ligadas a mi pasión.



Mis anhelos son colmar

tu amoroso frenesí

tú me juraste amar,

amarte te prometí.

En mí, siempre vivirás,

serás gloria, para mí

y no más podré brindarte

si ya todo te lo di.

English lyrics of the Tango "Corazoncito (Ñafa)"

The seductive charm
of your crystal laughter,
the scent of your love,
and your spiritual grace.
Delicately, they sweeten my being,
the roses from your rosebush
that you eagerly cultivated…

Enjoying your friendship,
I adored your virtues
for they know how to inspire
my feelings with faith.
“How wonderful it is to live like this!”
soaked in pleasure,
caressing the adornments
of your blessed affection.

Let me, “Little Heart,”
offer you my flowers,
symbols of the purity
of my finest moments,
bringing joy to my life,
my subtle efforts managed
to fulfill its aspirations,
admiring the greatness
that reflects the nobility
of your divine thinking.

“Little Heart” triumphant,
your vibrant beats are
celestial harmony,
pieces of vibration.
Felt notes that provide
hours of satisfaction,
sweet tenderness that is
tied to my passion.

My desires are to fulfill
your loving frenzy;
you swore to love me,
to love you I promised.
In me, you will always live,
you will be my glory
and I can offer no more
if I have already given you everything.
