Letra del Tango Mi tango triste

Me torturé sin ti y entonces te busqué
por los caminos del recuerdo
y en el recodo más lejano te agitabas por volver
y por librarte de ese infierno…
Y se arrastró hasta mí tu vida sin amor
con su dolor y su silencio
y disfrazamos un pasado que luchaba por querer
volver.

Y fuiste tú
la que alegró mi soledad,
quien transformó en locura
mi pasión y mi ternura
y en horror mis horas mansas.
Tú…
Mi tango triste fuiste tú
y nadie existe más que tú
en mi destino…
Y hoy
te has hecho a un lado en mi camino…
Y es muy tarde ya
para volver llorando atrás
y contener la angustia
que por mustia
duele mucho más.

Se desgarró la luz y enmudeció mi voz
aquella noche sin palabras
al ver que tu alma estaba ausente y a tu lado siempre yo
como una cosa abandonada…
Y se arrastró hasta mí la sombra de otro amor
y de otra voz que te llamaba
y me sumiste en un pasado que luchaba por querer
volver.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi tango triste "

I tortured myself without you, and then I sought you
along the paths of memory,
and in the most distant corner, you stirred, seeking to return
and to free yourself from that hell.
And your loveless life crawled toward me
with its pain and its silence,
and we disguised a past that struggled to desire
to return.

And it was you
who brightened my solitude,
who turned my passion and tenderness
into madness, and my tranquil hours into horror.
You…
My sad tango, it was you,
and no one exists but you
in my destiny…
And today
you’ve moved aside on my path…
And it’s too late now
to weepingly return,
and contain the anguish
that because it’s withered,
hurts much more.

The light tore apart and my voice was silenced
that wordless night
when I saw your soul was absent, and always by your side, I
like an abandoned thing…
And the shadow of another love crawled toward me,
and another voice calling you,
and you plunged me into a past that struggled to desire
to return.
