Letra del Tango Madre hay una sola

Pagando antiguas locuras
y ahogando mi triste queja
volví a buscar en la vieja
aquellas hondas ternuras
que abandonadas dejé.
Y al verme nada me dijo
de mis torpezas pasadas,
palabras dulcificadas
de amor por el hijo,
¡tan sólo escuché!

Besos y amores…
Amistades… bellas farsas
y rosadas ilusiones
en el mundo hay a montones
por desgracia…
¡Madre hay una sola!…
Y aunque un día la olvidé
me enseñó al final la vida
que a ese amor hay que volver.

Y nadie venga a arrancarme
del lado de quien me adora
de quien con fe bienhechora
se esfuerza por consolarme
de mi pasado dolor…
Las tentaciones son vanas
para burlar su cariño;
para ella soy siempre un niño,
¡Benditas sus canas!
¡Bendito su amor!

English lyrics of the Tango "Madre hay una sola"

Paying off old madness
and drowning my sad lament,
I returned to seek in the old
those deep affections
I had left behind.
And seeing me, she said nothing
of my past clumsiness,
just sweetened words
of love for her son,
that’s all I heard!

Kisses and loves…
Friendships… beautiful pretenses
and rosy illusions
are plentiful in the world,
unfortunately…
There’s only one mother!…
And though one day I forgot her,
life finally taught me
that to that love I must return.

And let no one come to tear me away
from the side of one who adores me,
who with benevolent faith
strives to console me
for my past pain…
Temptations are futile
to mock her affection;
to her, I am always a child,
Blessed be her gray hairs!
Blessed be her love!
