Letra del Tango Medallita de la suerte

Muchas glorias me dio el mundo
al brindarme sus ofrendas,
son tantas que las confundo
aflojándole las riendas.
Gran poder es el dinero,
mal de todas esas prendas.
Es a vos a quien más quiero
medallita de la suerte,
que te llevo desde niño
Es tan grande mi cariño
como el miedo de perderte.
Yo nací para quererte,
porque junto a mi cunita
te bendijo mi viejia,
con el llanto de su amor.

Fuiste para mi, canción de cuna,
en mis noches, blanca luna,
flor del aire en mi camino,
esperanza en mi destino
y serás en mi partida
la canción de despedida,
cuando a todo diga adiós.

Nunca te podré olvidar,
que fuiste vos
mi dulce prenda querida.
Medallita de la suerte,
que te llevo desde niño.
Es tan grande mi cariño
como el miedo de perderte.
Yo nací para quererte,
porque junto a mi cunita
te bendijo mi viejita,
con el llanto de su amor.
Siempre así, corazón,
con el mismo amor los dos.

English lyrics of the Tango "Medallita de la suerte"

World has given me many glories,
by offering its gifts to me,
they are so many that I confuse them
by loosening their reins.
Great power is money,
evil of all those gifts.
It is you who I love most,
my lucky charm,
that I’ve carried since childhood.
My affection is so vast
as is my fear of losing you.
I was born to love you,
for by my cradle,
my dear old lady blessed you,
with the tears of her love.

You were for me a lullaby,
in my nights, a white moon,
the flower of the air on my path,
hope in my destiny
and you will be in my departure
the farewell song,
when to everything I say goodbye.

I can never forget you,
for it was you,
my sweet beloved treasure.
Lucky charm,
that I’ve carried since childhood.
My affection is so vast
as is my fear of losing you.
I was born to love you,
for by my cradle
my dear old lady blessed you,
with the tears of her love.
Always like this, my heart,
with the same love, both of us.
