Letra del Tango Dos amores

Escuche viejecita… yo quiero que se entere
Desde hace mucho tiempo, que tengo ya otro amor,
Si viera qué bonita, qué buena es la muchacha
Hay en sus negros más fuego que el sol.
Yo quiero que la quiera con su cariño santo
Con fuerza, con vehemencia, de todo corazón,
Ella hace mucho tiempo que quiere conocerla
Para llamarla madre… como lo llamo yo.

Fue cerquita del barranco
Donde una tarde la vi,
Y en la tranquera ´e su rancho
El primer beso le di,
Desde entonces mi guitarra
Tiene una cinta ´e color,
Que la prendieron sus manos
Como prueba de su amor.

¿Que pasa?…viejita venga, por qué se pone triste
Acaso no se alegra al ver que soy feliz,
O cree que el cariño de la mujer que amo
Me hará olvidar lo mucho que usted sufrió por mí.
Yo quiero que la quiera con su cariño santo
Con fuerza, con vehemencia, de todo corazón,
Ella hace mucho tiempo que quiere conocerla
Para llamarla madre, como la llamo yo.

English lyrics of the Tango "Dos amores"

Listen, my dear old lady, I want you to know
For a long time now, I have another love,
See how pretty, how good the girl is,
In her dark eyes, there’s more fire than the sun.
I want you to love her with your holy affection,
With strength, with passion, with all your heart,
She has wanted to meet you for a long time,
To call you mother… as I do.

It was near the ravine
Where I saw her one evening,
And at the gate of her ranch,
I gave her the first kiss,
Since then my guitar
Has a colored ribbon,
Placed there by her hands
As a proof of her love.

What’s wrong?… my dear old lady, why do you look sad?
Aren’t you glad to see that I am happy?
Or do you think the love of the woman I adore
Will make me forget how much you suffered for me?
I want you to love her with your holy affection,
With strength, with passion, with all your heart,
She has longed to meet you for so long,
To call you mother, just as I do.
