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 that you kiss me
I burn in an intense fever of love.
My life is a flame that ignites
at the blow of a gust of passion.
And an anxiety that leaves no room for thought,
a tormented craving, sweeps me in its storm.

There’s always something in you, that provokes me.
And there’s always something in me, that excites me.
And between the two of us, the mad fury
that ignites the passion in our mouths.
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.

I’m frightened by the anxiety with which I await
each moment of our love.
This feverish feeling overwhelms me,
in which I burn without salvation.
What sorcery of love heated my blood,
what fever inflames my heart
and spurs my irresponsible weakness
in an unstoppable craving that overpowers me.
