Letra del Tango Mi piba (Mi piba linda)

Los muchachos de la barra
como no salgo de farra me han negao su estimación;
Los muchachos se lamentan
de que no los tengo en cuenta y tal vez tengan razón.
Mas no saben que una piba
en mi vida se cruzó,
linda, buena, comprensiva,
y esa piba el corazón me cautivó…

¡Qué lindas son las noches
que paso junto a ella
mirando las estrellas
que no miré jamás!
¡Qué lindo es a su lado
pasearnos frente al río
y en medio del gentío
querernos más y más!
Dirán que estoy chiflado…
¡qué importo todo eso,
cuando ella me da un beso
qué importa lo demás!

Los muchachos me critican
y de zonzo califican mi profundo metejón.
Como nadie la conoce
no sospechan todo el goce que me causa esta pasión.
Si a mi piba conocieron
dejarían de charlar,
pues yo sé que si la vieran
¡ya quisieran encontrarse en mi lugar!…

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi piba (Mi piba linda)"

The boys at the bar
since I don’t go out partying have denied their esteem;
The boys lament
that I don’t consider them and maybe they are right.
But they don’t know that a girl
crossed into my life,
beautiful, kind, understanding,
and this girl captivated my heart…

How beautiful are the nights
I spend next to her
looking at the stars
that I never looked at before!
How lovely it is by her side
to walk along the river
and amid the crowd
to love each other more and more!
They will say that I am crazy…
I care not for all that,
when she gives me a kiss
what else matters!

The boys criticize me
and call my deep crush stupid.
Since nobody knows her
they don’t suspect all the joy this passion brings me.
If they met my girl
they would stop talking,
for I know that if they saw her
they would want to be in my place!…
