Letra del Tango Mi vida que te pasa

Mi vida ¿Qué te pasa?
Que así tan de repente
Te has puesto tan huraña
Que ni te puedo hablar…
Por culpa de tus celos
Se ha roto nuestro idilio
Y hoy sólo quedan ruinas
De lo que fue un hogar.

Parece hasta mentira, pero ya nada queda
De todo lo que un día, la vida nos brindó,
Vivís atormentada, hundida en un abismo
De celos y de dudas, que matan nuestro amor.
No sufras más, querida, cambiá tu pensamiento
Verás al fin, mi vida, que tuyo sólo soy,
Sacá el rencor del pecho, vení dame un abrazo
Y con un beso grande, borremos el dolor.

Te tengo entre mis brazos
Llorando arrepentida,
Te beso y tú me besas
Pidiéndome perdón…
Al fin has comprendido
Que tuyo soy, mi vida,
Que tuyos son mis besos
Que tuyo soy, mi amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi vida que te pasa"

My life, what’s wrong with you?
That so suddenly
You’ve become so standoffish
I cannot even speak to you…
Because of your jealousy
Our love affair has broken
And now only the ruins remain
Of what was once a home.

It almost seems a lie, but nothing remains
Of everything that one day, life gave us,
You live tormented, sunk in an abyss
Of jealousy and doubts, killing our love.
Don’t suffer anymore, my dear, change your thoughts
You will see at last, my life, that I am only yours,
Remove the bitterness from your heart, come give me a hug
And with a big kiss, let’s erase the pain.

I have you in my arms
Crying with regret,
I kiss you and you kiss me
Begging me for forgiveness…
At last you have understood
That I am yours, my life,
That my kisses are yours
That I am yours, my love.
