Letra del Tango Muriéndome de amor

Tu boca puede más que mi cordura
y me tortura la tentación,
con sólo imaginar que tu me besas
ardo en intensa fiebre de amor.
Mi vida es una llama que se inflama
al soplo de una racha de pasión.
Y un ansia que no deja pensar nada,
un ansia atormentada, me arrastra en su turbión.

Hay algo siempre en ti, que me provoca.
Y hay algo siempre en mí, que me apasiona.
Y en medio de los dos, la furia loca
que enciende la pasión en nuestras bocas.
Mil veces he intentado rebelarme,
negándome a esta ciega tentación,
mas tengo un corazón, y soy de carne.
Y al verte junto a mí, vuelvo a besarte,
muriéndome de amor.

Me asusta esta ansiedad con que yo espero
cada momento de nuestro amor.
Me aturde este afiebrado sentimiento
en que me enciendo sin salvación.
Qué embrujo del amor caldeó mi sangre,
qué fiebre me enardece el corazón
y anima en mi flaqueza irresponsable
en ansia irremediable que puede más que yo.

English lyrics of the Tango "Muriéndome de amor"

Your lips overpower my sanity
and temptation tortures me,
just imagining your kiss
ignites an intense fever of love.
My life is a flame that flares
at the breath of a gust of passion.
And a yearning that allows no other thought,
a tormented yearning, drags me in its whirl.

There’s always something in you that provokes me.
And always something in me that fires up.
And between us, mad fury
that ignites passion in our lips.
A thousand times I’ve tried to rebel,
denying this blind temptation,
but I have a heart, and I am flesh.
And seeing you next to me, I kiss you again,
dying of love.

This anxiety with which I wait
each moment of our love frightens me.
This feverish feeling overwhelms me
where I burn with no salvation.
What witchcraft of love heated my blood,
what fever enflames my heart
and stirs in my irresponsible weakness
an irreparable urge that overpowers me.
