Letra del Tango Las campanas

Las campanas que oigo, Virgen, repicar

Del triste ayer, me traen la evocación,

Y quiero junto a ti, de hinojos en tu altar

Rendirte con mi fe, mi eterna admiración.

Mucho tiempo suspirando padecí

Por alcanzar la dicha que soñé,

Y sólo tu piedad, tan dulce para mí

A mi alma le otorgó, la gracia que imploré.



Hoy las rosas del jardín de mi esperanza

Florecieron como nunca en mi rosal,

Bajo un tibio sol de mágica bonanza

Que ha espantado con sus luces a mi mal.

Ya no siento la nostalgia abrumadora

De la duda tan punzante que sufrí,

Dos cariños venerables tengo ahora

Mi santa madre y al que adoro como a ti.



Navegando sobre el mar de la ilusión

Mi anhelo fue poder al fin llegar,

Al puerto que forjé ansiosa de pasión

Y en donde mi inquietud pudiera descansar.

Y marchando, Virgen mía, en mi bajel

Tu inspiración le dio a mi juventud,

La gloria del amor, romántico vergel

Que tierno me brindó la flor de tu virtud.

English lyrics of the Tango "Las campanas"

The bells I hear, Virgin, ringing

From the sad yesterday, evoke memories in me,

And I want beside you, on my knees at your altar

To render you with my faith, my eternal admiration.

For a long time, I suffered sighing

To achieve the bliss I dreamed of,

And only your pity, so sweet to me

Gave my soul the grace I implored.

Today the roses in the garden of my hope

Have bloomed like never before in my rose bush,

Under a warm sun of magical good fortune

That has chased away the darkness of my affliction.

I no longer feel the overwhelming nostalgia

Of the sharp doubt I endured,

I now have two venerable affections

My holy mother and the one I adore like you.

Sailing over the sea of illusion

My desire was to finally reach,

The port I eagerly crafted with passion

Where my restlessness could rest.

And marching, my Virgin, in my vessel

Your inspiration gave my youth,

The glory of love, a romantic garden

Which tenderly offered me the flower of your virtue.
