Letra del Tango La guitarrita

Mi guitarrita querida
amiga de mis amores.

Vuelve en la noche hoy, junto a la reja,
el dulce trino; amor de payador,
aroma de jazmín y de glicina,
luna, canción y ella con su amor.
Fue la guitarra así, mi compañera,
la que llenó mis noches de ilusión,
la que alegró mi vida de bohemia,
y encadenó mis sueños a su amor.

Lloré, reí, viví, sufrí,
buscando dulce prenda,
canté, soñé, perdí, gané,
y no encontré la huella.
Al fin triunfé, bebí su amor,
me encariñé a sus trenzas
y la sentí en mi vida
junto a mi corazón.

Como un recuerdo que ha vuelto otra vez,
que yo siempre alenté, que yo siempre soñé.
Hoy te busco como al sueño azul,
con deseo de alcanzar tu amor,
como una imagen que no borraré
la que siempre guardé
y que nunca olvidé
el recuerdo que tu amor me dio,
es nostálgico querer.

English lyrics of the Tango "La guitarrita"

My dear little guitar
friend of my loves.

Tonight returns, there by the gate,
the sweet trill; minstrel’s love,
jasmine and wisteria’s scent,
moon, song, and she with her love.
Thus was the guitar, my companion,
the one that filled my nights with dreams,
the one that brightened my bohemian life,
and chained my dreams to her love.

I cried, laughed, lived, suffered,
seeking sweet prize,
sang, dreamed, lost, won,
and didn’t find the trail.
In the end, I triumphed, drank her love,
grew fond of her braids
and felt her in my life
close to my heart.

Like a memory that’s come once more,
which I always kept alive, which I always dreamed.
Now I seek you like the azure dream,
with desire to attain your love,
as an image I won’t erase,
one I’ve always saved
and never forgot,
the memory your love gave me,
is nostalgic longing.
