Letra del Tango La calle del pecado

No hace falta que me cuentes tu pasado
Aunque tengas mil pecados en tu haber,
Hoy tan sólo me interesa tu presente
Y el valor de tu futuro proceder.

No hagas caso, no hagas caso a lo que digan
Que la envidia nunca puede hacernos mal,
Piensa sólo que hay un alma que te adora
Y eso sí, que lo tendrás que respetar.

La vida
No es tan cruel como uno piensa,
Pues existe la conciencia,
La verdad y la razón…

No me importan tus errores del pasado
Si en la calle del pecado
Yo también rodé…

Soñemos
En un mundo diferente
Y dejemos que la gente
Nos envidie y hable mal.

English lyrics of the Tango "La calle del pecado"

You don’t need to tell me about your past,
Even if you have a thousand sins to your name,
Today, I’m only interested in your present
And the value of what your future actions will be.

Pay no mind, don’t listen to what they say,
Envy can never truly harm us,
Just think, there is a soul that adores you
And that, indeed, you must respect.

Life
Is not as cruel as one might think,
For there is conscience,
Truth, and reason…

I don’t care about your past mistakes
If in the street of sin
I too have fallen…

Let’s dream
Of a different world
And let the people
Envy us and speak ill.
