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"

Play, mournful tango, bold and streetwise,
as in my sadness, my weary heart beats.
And if you see my beloved, do not tell her I love her,
for I’m now ashamed to think of her betrayal.
Play, tango, and if with another you see me dancing to your sound,
do not tell her you heard my groans accompany.
I do not want her to know the anguish I’ve suffered,
and that since that afternoon, all I do is weep.

Tango!…
Melancholic witness
and the only friend
of my solitude.
Tango!…
In the twists of fate
perhaps on my path
I’ll find her again.

But then, without bitterness or desire for revenge,
my forgiveness will shelter her and the musical lament
of this tattered tango, of pain and hope,
will be the cry that accuses her of causing me so much harm.
Play, mournful tango, bold and streetwise,
as in my sadness, my weary heart beats.
And if you see my beloved, do not tell her I love her,
for I’m now ashamed to think of her betrayal.
