Letra del Tango Hoy al recordarla

Se atora el tango en sus venas
y en mis penas se arrincona.
Y en el sonar que desgarra
se hacen garra sus aromas.
La flor ausente del amor
en mi dolor clavó su espina.
Ya nunca más he de volver
a su querer, ni a aquella esquina.
Se atora el tango cansado
y a su lado muero yo.

Hoy al recordarla,
en el alma siento
que llegan lamentos
de amores lejanos.
Y en los bandoneones
noto que enredadas
las notas cansadas
me dicen hermano.
Hoy al recordarla
iré en mi locura
por calles oscuras
que saben mi angustia.
¡Qué noche más triste!,
surgen los recuerdos
y en sombras me pierdo
llorando su amor.

Se atora el tango en sus venas,
y en mis penas se hace herida.
Siguen sus notas tristonas
que asoman a mi vida.
Mientras solloza el bandoneón
mi corazón se desespera.
Porque no encuentra en su dolor
aquel calor de la que espera.
Se atora el tango cansado
y a su lado muero yo.

English lyrics of the Tango "Hoy al recordarla"

The tango clogs in its veins
and in my sorrows it retreats.
And in the tearing sound,
its scents become claws.
The absent flower of love
in my pain left its thorn.
I’ll never return
to her love, or that corner.
The tired tango clogs
and beside it I die.

Today, in remembering her,
I feel in my soul
the arrival of laments
of distant loves.
And in the bandoneons
I notice, entangled,
the weary notes
calling me brother.
Today, in remembering her,
I’ll wander in my madness
through dark streets
that know my anguish.
What a sad night!,
memories arise
and in shadows I lose myself
crying for her love.

The tango clogs in its veins,
and in my sorrows it becomes a wound.
Its sad notes continue
to peer into my life.
While the bandoneón sobs,
my heart despairs.
For it cannot find in its pain
the warmth of the one who waits.
The tired tango clogs
and beside it I die.
