Letra del Tango Escúchame Manón (Indiferencia)

Cuando sepas que mi amor está lleno de verdad

tu temor, tu indiferencia, pasarán.

El cariño que por ti en mi pecho se anidó,

¿no te apenas que se muera de dolor?

Ronda mis noches tu ondulada melenita

y me acaricia la dulzura de tu voz.

Mientras la luz que se refleja en tus pupilas

me dice, es tuyo mi corazón.

Escuchame Manón y dejate querer,

aleja tu tenaz preocupación, tu padecer.

Es nuestro el porvenir, lo veo en tu mirar,

mis esperanzas de amar las veo en ti.

Vuelven mis sueños, apareces vida mía,

y me reprocha la tristeza de tu voz.

Siento en mi alma la tortura de los celos

y sufre mucho mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Escúchame Manón (Indiferencia)"

When you realize my love is full of truth,
your fear, your indifference, will fade away.
The affection that nested in my chest for you,
don’t you feel it’s painful for it to die of sorrow?

Your wavy little hair haunts my nights,
and your voice’s sweetness caresses me.
While the light reflecting in your eyes
tells me, your heart is mine.

Listen to me, Manón, and let yourself be loved,
put aside your persistent worry, your suffering.
The future is ours, I see it in your gaze,
I see my hopes of love in you.

My dreams return, you appear, my life,
and your voice’s sadness reproaches me.
I feel in my soul the torture of jealousy
and my heart suffers greatly.
