Letra del Tango La melodía del corazón

Mil amores tuve yo
Y en ninguno yo encontraba
La dulzura que soñé,
Ya que en cambio sólo hallé
La falsía despreciable
Que mi alma endureció.
A la vida retorné
Cuando tu carita de ángel,
En mi vida se cruzó
Y encauzaste mi existencia,
Por la senda que jamás
Ya dejaré.

Fue
Que tu amor,
¡Dulzura y fe!
Retrajo a mí, las ansias de vivir
¡En paz con Dios!…
Paz que tanto ambicionaba
Sol de afectos que anhelaba,
Y que fue canción triunfal de amor,
Que en su esplendor, toma formas de
Melodía que, mi corazón
Con frenesí, canta feliz.

Ese amor que floreció
Trajo a mi alma la fragancia
De un romántico vergel,
Con su aroma renació
Mi pasión por la belleza
Y los encantos del amor.
Melodía pasional
Que cual fuego deslumbrante
Brotas hoy del corazón,
Dile a la novia querida
¡Que es la dueña de mi vida
y mi cantar…!

English lyrics of the Tango "La melodía del corazón"

I had a thousand loves,
And in none I found
The sweetness I dreamed of,
For I only discovered
The despicable deceit
That hardened my soul.
I returned to life
When your angelic face
Crossed into my life
And you steered my existence
Onto a path I will
Never leave.

It was
Your love,
Sweetness and faith!
That brought back to me the desire to live
In peace with God!…
A peace I deeply craved
A sun of affection I longed for,
And it became a triumphant song of love,
That in its glory, takes the form of
A melody that, my heart
With frenzy, sings joyfully.

That love which flourished
Brought to my soul the fragrance
Of a romantic garden,
With its scent reborn
Was my passion for beauty
And the charms of love.
A passionate melody
That like a stunning fire
Springs today from the heart,
Tell the beloved bride
That she owns my life
And my song…!
