Letra del Tango Ella me dio esta pena

¡Bandoneón!

En tu voz está llorando mi nostalgia,

Voz de tango que la nombra

Entre las sombras de la distancia.

¡Bandoneón!

Corazón, dónde se han ido mis recuerdos,

Buen amigo que me diste

Cuánto la quise, cuánto la quiero.

Duró su amor lo que un suspiro

Pero no sabrás de olvido

Hermano bandoneón.



Yo no la puedo olvidar,

Sobre su adiós, al perderla,

Nació el dolor de quererla

Y este querer puede más.

Parece que vuelve en las sombras

Que me besan, que me nombran.

Yo no la puedo olvidar

Ella me dio esta pena,

Pero también me consuela

Haciéndome recordar.



¡Bandoneón!

Corazón, que al latir cuenta mi vida,

Sólo un día para amarla

Y son diez años, sin olvidarla.

Duró su amor lo que un suspiro

Pero no sabrás de olvido

Hermano bandoneón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Ella me dio esta pena"

Bandoneon!

In your voice my nostalgia is crying,

Voice of tango that names her

Among the shadows of the distance.

Bandoneon!

Heart, where have my memories gone,

Good friend who gave me

How much I loved her, how much I love her.

Her love lasted as long as a sigh

But you will not know of forgetting

Brother bandoneon.

I cannot forget her,

Upon her farewell, upon losing her,

The pain of loving her was born

And this love overpowers.

It seems she returns in the shadows

That kiss me, that call my name.

I cannot forget her

She gave me this sorrow,

But she also consoles me

By making me remember.

Bandoneon!

Heart, that beats telling my life,

Only one day to love her

And ten years, not forgetting her.

Her love lasted as long as a sigh

But you will not know of forgetting

Brother bandoneon.
