Letra del Tango Mi Buenos Aires querido

Mi Buenos Aires querido
cuando yo te vuelva a ver,
no habrás más pena ni olvido.

El farolito de la calle en que nací
fue el centinela de mis promesas de amor,
bajo su quieta lucecita yo la vi
a mi pebeta, luminosa como un sol.
Hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver,
ciudad porteña de mi único querer,
y oigo la queja
de un bandoneón,
dentro del pecho pide rienda el corazón.

Mi Buenos Aires
tierra florida
donde mi vida
terminaré.
Bajo tu amparo
no hay desengaños,
vuelan los años,
se olvida el dolor.
En caravana
los recuerdos pasan,
con una estela
dulce de emoción.
Quiero que sepas
que al evocarte,
se van las penas
de mi corazón.

La ventanita de mi calle de arrabal.
donde sonríe una muchachita en flor,
quiero de nuevo yo volver a contemplar
aquellos ojos que acarician al mirar.
En la cortada más maleva una canción
dice su ruego de coraje y de pasión,
una promesa
y un suspirar,
borró una lágrima de pena aquel cantar.

Mi Buenos Aires querido,
cuando yo te vuelva a ver,
no habrá más pena ni olvido.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi Buenos Aires querido"

My beloved Buenos Aires,
when I see you again,
there will be no more sorrow or forgetting.

The little streetlamp on the street where I was born
was the sentinel of my love promises,
under its quiet little light I saw her
my girl, shining like a sun.
Now that fate wants me to see you again,
city of my only love,
and I hear the lament
of a bandoneon,
inside the chest, the heart demands rein.

My Buenos Aires,
land in bloom
where my life
I will end.
Under your shelter
there are no disappointments,
years fly by,
pain is forgotten.
In a caravan,
memories pass,
with a trail
sweet with emotion.
I want you to know
that by evoking you,
the sorrows
of my heart go away.

The little window on my suburban street,
where a blooming young girl smiles,
I want to again behold
those eyes that caress as they gaze.
In the most rogue shortcut a song
makes its plea of courage and passion,
a promise
and a sigh,
erased a tear of sorrow that singing.

My beloved Buenos Aires,
when I see you again,
there will be no more sorrow or forgetting.
