Letra del Tango Mi pecadora

A vos te quiero, pecadora,
Como te amó Carriego ayer,
Y como amaba Eduardo Arolas
En las pálidas auroras,
A su copa de suissé.

Y vos por buena me has querido,
Corazoncito con latidos de fru fru,
Y sé que el día que me muera
Sin encajes ni pulseras,
Llorarás sobre mi cruz.

Tus labios saben reír
En mi vivir envenenado,
Y dicen siempre que sí
Con un mohín azucarado.
Entonces todo es azul
Y corro un tul a mi pasado.
Qué importan penas de amor
Si tus pupilas están,
Y me redime el alcohol.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi pecadora"

I love you, sinner,
As Carriego loved you in the past,
And as Eduardo Arolas loved
In the pale dawns,
His cup of Swiss liqueur.

And you’ve loved me kindly,
Little heart with fru fru beats,
And I know that the day I die
Without laces or bracelets,
You will cry over my cross.

Your lips know how to laugh
In my poisoned life,
And they always say yes
With a sugary pout.
Then everything turns blue
And I draw a veil over my past.
What do love’s sorrows matter,
If your pupils are here,
And alcohol redeems me.
