Letra del Tango Lo que me hablaron de vos

¡Salí, por Dios… no me llorés!
Que no me toquen tus manos,
que no se acerque tu boca,
que tus labios me hacen daño.
¡No ves que quiero morirme!
Dejame, andate y no vuelvas,
andate con tu pasado…
que brutal y despiadado…
me ha mostrado tu disfraz.

Lo que me hablaron de vos…
para qué vas a negarlo,
no ves que al recordarlo
te estremecés.
Lo que me hablaron de vos…
te lo juro es tan horrible,
que parece hasta imposible
que yo te pueda mirar.

¡No me supliqués, por Dios!
Para qué vas a rogarme,
para qué vas a jurarme,
implorándome perdón…
Lo que me hablaron de vos
fue un puñal que hoy se cruza
entre los dos.

¡Salí, por Dios… no me llorés!
No ves lo que estoy sufriendo,
no ves que te estoy pidiendo
que te alejes de mi lado.
¡No quiero verte a los ojos!
Dejame, andate y no vuelvas,
porque yo, desesperado…
por lo mucho que has llorado
soy capaz…. de irte a buscar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Lo que me hablaron de vos"

Leave, for God’s sake… don’t cry for me!
Let not your hands touch me,
let not your mouth come near,
your lips cause me pain.
Can’t you see I wish to die!
Leave me, go and don’t return,
go with your past…
so brutal and merciless…
that revealed your disguise.

What they told me about you…
why would you deny it,
can’t you see remembering it
makes you shiver?
What they told me about you…
I swear it’s so dreadful,
that it seems almost impossible
for me to look at you.

Don’t beg me, for God’s sake!
Why would you plead with me,
why would you swear to me,
imploring for forgiveness…
What they told me about you
was a dagger that today stands
between us.

Leave, for God’s sake… don’t cry for me!
Can’t you see what I’m suffering,
can’t you see I’m asking you
to move away from my side.
I don’t want to see your eyes!
Leave me, go and don’t return,
because I, in desperation…
by as much as you have cried
am capable… of going after you.
