Letra del Tango Cuando el amor muere

Sin paz por este amor, vencido
Dejé otro amor a la distancia,
En éste, me abrazó la vida
Y al otro… dos manitas blancas.
Las brujas del dolor sentencian
Y entre dos fuegos van mis ansias,
¡Quisiera ahogar esta pasión!
Tender mis alas y partir
Pero me grita el corazón:

Una sola vez se vive
Una sola vez se ama,
Y no hay gloria más sublime
Que sufrir por un amor.
Pero cuando ese amor muere
Otro al alma no regresa,
Porque esa pasión nos besa
¡Una sola vez!… y adiós…!

Perdóname Señor, si olvido
En estos labios otros ruegos,
No supe de este amor dormido
¡Que más se oculta y más lo quiero!
Pero hoy que enamorado vivo
Por mi cariño todo juego,
Que no se vence a una pasión
Cuando es ardiente la ansiedad
Y así nos dice el corazón:

English lyrics of the Tango "Cuando el amor muere"

Without peace for this love, defeated
I left another love behind,
Here, life embraced me
And there… two little white hands.
The witches of pain pronounce
And between two fires go my desires,
I’d like to drown this passion!
Spread my wings and depart
But my heart cries out:

You only live once
You only love once,
And there’s no glory more sublime
Than to suffer for a love.
But when that love dies
Another doesn’t return to the soul,
Because that passion kisses us
Only once!… and goodbye…!

Forgive me, Lord, if I forget
On these lips, other prayers,
I knew nothing of this dormant love
Which hides more and more I desire it!
But today living in love
For my affection everything I risk,
You can’t defeat a passion
When longing is ardent
And thus says our heart:
