Letra del Tango Dónde estás japonesita

No es que esté arrepentido
de haberte querido tanto;
lo que me apena es tu olvido
y tu traición
me sume en amargo llanto.
¡Si vieras! Estoy tan triste
que canto por no llorar…
Si para tu bien te fuiste
para tu bien
yo te debo perdonar.

Después de libar traidora
en el rosal de mi amor
te marchas, engañadora,
para buscar
el encanto de otra flor…
Y buscando la más pura,
la más linda de color,
la ciegas con tu hermosura
para después
engañarla con tu amor.

Aquella tarde que te vi
tu estampa me gustó,
pebeta de arrabal,
y sin saber por qué yo te seguí
y el corazón te di
y fue tan sólo por mi mal.
Mirá si fue sincero mi querer
que nunca imaginé
la hiel de tu traición…

¡Qué solo y triste me quedé,
sin amor y sin fe
y derrotado el corazón!

Ten cuidado, mariposa,
de los sentidos amores…
No te cieguen los fulgores
de alguna falsa pasión
perque entonces pagarás
toda tu maldad,
toda tu traición.

English lyrics of the Tango "Dónde estás japonesita"

It’s not that I regret
having loved you so much;
what pains me is your forgetting
and your betrayal
that plunges me into bitter weeping.
If only you could see! I am so sad
that I sing to keep from crying…
If for your sake you left,
for your own good,
I should forgive you.

After sipping, traitor,
from the rosebush of my love,
you leave, deceiving one,
to seek
the charm of another flower…
And in search of the purest,
the prettiest in color,
you blind it with your beauty
only to later
deceive it with your love.

That afternoon I saw you,
I liked your figure,
girl from the outskirts,
and without knowing why I followed you
and gave you my heart
and it was only to my detriment.
Look how sincere my love was
that I never imagined
the bitterness of your betrayal…

How alone and sad I remained,
without love and without faith,
and with a defeated heart!

Be careful, butterfly,
of enticing loves…
May the glare
of some false passion
not blind you
because then you will pay
for all your wickedness,
all your betrayal.
