Letra del Tango Fumando espero

Fumar es un placer
genial, sensual.
Fumando espero
al hombre a quien yo quiero,
tras los cristales
de alegres ventanales.
Mientras fumo,
mi vida no consumo
porque flotando el humo
me suelo adormecer…
Tendida en la chaisse longue
soñar y amar…
Ver a mi amante
solícito y galante,
sentir sus labios
besar con besos sabios,
y el devaneo
sentir con más deseos
cuando sus ojos veo,
sedientos de pasión.
Por eso estando mi bien
es mi fumar un edén.

Dame el humo de tu boca.
Anda, que así me vuelvo loca.
Corre que quiero enloquecer
de placer,
sintiendo ese calor
del humo embriagador
que acaba por prender
la llama ardiente del amor.

Mi egipcio es especial,
qué olor, señor.
Tras la batalla
en que el amor estalla,
un cigarrillo
es siempre un descansillo
y aunque parece
que el cuerpo languidece,
tras el cigarro crece
su fuerza, su vigor.
La hora de inquietud
con él, no es cruel,
sus espirales son sueños celestiales,
y forman nubes
que así a la gloria suben
y envuelta en ella,
su chispa es una estrella
que luce, clara y bella
con rápido fulgor.
Por eso estando mi bien
es mi fumar un edén.

English lyrics of the Tango "Fumando espero"

Smoking is a pleasure delight, sensual. Smoking, I wait for the man I love, beyond the colored glass of cheerful windows. While I smoke, my life I don’t consume because, floating the smoke, I tend to drift asleep… Reclined on the chaise longue, to dream and love… See my lover attentive and gallant, feel his lips kissing with knowing kisses, and the dalliance feel with more desires when his eyes I see, thirsty with passion. So with my darling here my smoking’s an Eden dear. Give me the smoke from your lips. Come, so I might lose my wits. Hurry, for I want to be crazed from the glee, feeling that warm embrace of smoke’s intoxicating haze that ends by lighting the fiery flame of love. My Egyptian is special, what scent, master. After the battle where love bursts forth, a cigarette is always a relief and though it seems that the body weakens, after the smoke grows its force, its vigor. The hour of unrest with it, is not cruel, its spirals are heavenly dreams, and form clouds that thus to glory climb and wrapped in it, its spark is a star that shines, bright and clear with quick flash. So with my darling here my smoking’s an Eden dear.
