Letra del Tango Cuando llora la milonga

Sollozó el bandoneón
congojas que se van
con el anochecer.

Y como un corazón,
el hueco de un zaguán,
recoge la oración
que triste dice fiel mujer.

Lloró la milonga,
su antigua pasión,
parece que ruega
consuelo y perdón.

La sombra cruzó
por el arrabal
de aquel que a la muerte
jugó su puñal.

Dos viejos unidos
en un callejón,
elevan las manos
por su salvación.

Y todo el suburbio,
con dolor,
evocan un hondo
drama de amor.

Conmovió el arrabal
con largo estremecer
el toque de oración.

Dolor sentimental
embarga a la mujer
en tanto el bandoneón
la historia reza de un querer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cuando llora la milonga"

The bandoneon sobbed,
anguishes that go away
with the dusk.

And like a heart,
the recess of an alley,
captures the prayer
that a faithful woman sadly says.

The milonga wept,
its old passion,
it seems to beg
for comfort and forgiveness.

The shadow crossed
through the suburb
of the one who
gambled his dagger with death.

Two elders united
in an alleyway,
raise their hands
for their salvation.

And all the suburb,
with pain,
invoke a deep
drama of love.

The suburb was moved
with a long shudder
by the call to prayer.

Sentimental pain
overwhelms the woman
while the bandoneon
recites the story of a love.
