Letra del Tango El día de tu ausencia

Del día en que te alejes
Y aquel en que me olvides,
Tan sólo nos separan
Los ensueños de un amor
Que ya ni existe.

Y el día en que te ausentes,
Perdida para siempre,
Ninguno de los dos
Ha de llorar por ansias de
Este amor.

Bien sé qué imposible sed, tú me alcanzaste,
Bien sé qué raíces echó tu pasión,
Y al fin, sin embargo, te siento culpable
De tanta increíble tortura de hoy.

Tu amor, fue arrebato fugaz de un engaño,
Tal vez no merezca ni el nombre de amor,
Lo cierto es que nunca quisiste ser dueña
Del fuego sagrado de mi corazón.

El día en que te pierda
Quizá mis soledades,
Se abrumen de inquietudes
Por tus horas de dolor
Inevitables.

El día de tu ausencia
Será de angustia plena,
Angustia de un adiós
Que nos dará la paz
Del corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "El día de tu ausencia"

From the day you leave
And the day you forget me,
Only the dreams of a love
That no longer exists
Separate us.

And the day you are absent,
Lost forever,
Neither of us
Will cry for the desires of
This love.

I well know the impossible thirst you reached,
I well know the roots your passion threw,
And in the end, however, I feel you guilty
Of so much incredible torture today.

Your love was a fleeting snatch of deception,
Perhaps it doesn’t even deserve the name of love,
The truth is that you never wanted to own
The sacred fire of my heart.

The day I lose you
Perhaps my solitudes,
Will be overwhelmed with worries
For your hours of inevitable pain.

The day you are absent
Will be full of anguish,
The anguish of a goodbye
That will give us the peace
Of the heart.
