Letra del Tango Lágrimas (2)

Ansias de hundir en las sombras
la angustia infinita que quiero ocultar.
Ansias de llorar tu llanto,
pena de quererte tanto,
voy por un camino largo,
llevando en mi alma buena
mi propio desencanto…
Arrastrando en mi agonía
la cruz de mi resignación.

Lágrimas…
En la amargura de mi vida son,
bálsamo…
Que cicatrizan mi dolor.
Benditas una y mil veces estas lágrimas,
sinceras, que brotaron
de mi pobre corazón.

Lágrimas…
Que enmudeciendo mis tristezas van,
lágrimas…
tibia llovizna de pesar.
Hoy llegan hasta el cáliz de mi vida,
suavizando la nostalgia
de esta inmensa soledad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Lágrimas (2)"

Longings to sink into the shadows,
the infinite anguish I wish to hide.
Longings to cry your tears,
pain of loving you so much,
I’m on a long road,
carrying in my good soul
my own disillusionment…
Dragging in my agony
the cross of my resignation.

Tears…
In the bitterness of my life they are,
balm…
That heals my pain.
Blessed a thousand times, these sincere tears,
that sprang from
my poor heart.

Tears…
That silently ease my sadness,
tears…
warm drizzle of sorrow.
Today they reach the chalice of my life,
softening the nostalgia
of this immense solitude.
