Letra del Tango No le digas que la quiero

Suena, tango quejumbroso, compadrón y callejero,
como suena en la tristeza mi abatido corazón.
Y si ves a mi querida no le digas que la quiero,
porque ya me da vergüenza de pensar en su traición.
Suena, tango, y si con otra ves que bailo a tu sonido,
no le digas que me oíste tu rezongo acompañar.
Yo no quiero que ella sepa las angustias que he sufrido,
y que desde aquella tarde no hago más que sollozar.

¡Tango!…
Melancólico testigo
y el único amigo
de mi soledad.
¡Tango!…
En las vueltas del destino
quizá en mi camino
la vuelva a encontrar.

Pero entonces, sin rencores ni deseos de venganza,
mi perdón le dará abrigo y el lamento musical
de este tango hecho jirones, de dolor y de esperanza,
será el grito que la acuse de haberme hecho tanto mal.
Suena, tango quejumbroso, compadrón y callejero,
como suena en la tristeza mi abatido corazón.
Y si ves a mi querida, no le digas que la quiero,
porque ya me da vergüenza de pensar en su traición

English lyrics of the Tango "No le digas que la quiero"

Sound, whiny tango, bold and streetwise,
like my sad and battered heart sounds in distress.
And if you see my beloved, don’t tell her I care,
because I’m ashamed to think of her betrayal yet.

Sound, tango, and if you see me dance to your tune with another,
don’t let on that you heard my moan accompany your play.
I don’t want her to know the anguish I endured,
and that since that afternoon, I’ve done nothing but sob.

Tango!…
Melancholic witness
and my sole friend
in solitude.
Tango!…
In the turns of fate
perhaps on my path
I’ll meet her again.

But then, with no bitterness or desire for revenge,
my forgiveness shall give shelter and the musical sigh
of this torn tango, full of pain and hope,
will be the cry that accuses her of causing me such hurt.

Sound, whiny tango, bold and streetwise,
like my sad and battered heart sounds in distress.
And if you see my beloved, don’t tell her I care,
because I’m ashamed to think of her betrayal yet.
