Letra del Tango La canción de mi tristeza

Era un cruel invierno de París
Al atardecer de un día gris,
Cuando yo te vi por vez primera
Linda flor bulevardera,
Palpitó mi corazón.
Todo mi cariño yo te di
Y eran tus caricias para mí,
Luego, yo partí para mi tierra
Y me separó la guerra,
De tu amor.

Es la canción de mi tristeza
Que te recuerda desde lejos.
Fueron garras del destino
Destrozando nuestro amor.
Hoy tú vas por un camino
Y por otro muero yo.
Ha caído tanta nieve
Tanta nieve entre los dos,
Que ha quedado de tu amor
Solamente un triste adiós.
Es la canción de mi tristeza
Que te recuerda desde lejos.
Pienso en tu vida, francesita,
Y siento que marchita
Mi pobre corazón.

Cuántas veces suelo recordar
Ese inolvidable bulevar,
Donde yo te vi por vez primera
Linda flor bulevardera,
Luz y sombra en mi pasión.
Todo se ha perdido en el adiós
Sólo queda el eco de tu voz,
Esa voz que, el día que partía,
Entre lágrimas decía:
“¡Soy tu amor!”

English lyrics of the Tango "La canción de mi tristeza"

It was a cruel winter in Paris
At the dusk of a gray day,
When I first saw you
Beautiful boulevard flower,
My heart throbbed.
I gave you all my love
And your caresses were mine,
Later, I left for my land
And war separated us,
From your love.

It’s the song of my sadness
Reminding me of you from afar.
Fate’s claws
Tearing our love apart.
Now you go one way
And I die another.
So much snow has fallen
So much snow between us,
That from your love
Only a sad goodbye remains.
It’s the song of my sadness
Reminding me of you from afar.
Thinking about your life, little French girl,
I feel my poor heart
Wither away.

How often I recall
That unforgettable boulevard,
Where I saw you for the first time
Beautiful boulevard flower,
Light and shadow in my passion.
Everything is lost in the goodbye
Only the echo of your voice remains,
That voice that, the day I was leaving,
Among tears said:
“I am your love!”
