Letra del Tango Notas de bandoneón

Tengo en un barrio apartado
Una casita chiquita,
Refugio para mis cuitas
De calavera olvidado…
Sólo… sin nadie a mi lado
Sin un cariño quedé,
Porque de tanto que amé
Sin amor me he quedado.

Llegan notas de bandoneón
En la noche de mi arrabal,
Son las notas de un corazón
Que al pasar
El viento trae.
Llegan notas de bandoneón
Y es más negra mi soledad,
Llueve en mi alma su triste son
Y hace florecer
Mi honda emoción…

Por eso en mi noche triste
Sólo… más viejo y cansado,
Recuerdo muy apenado
Lo mucho que me quisiste.
Sabiendo que te perdiste
Yo vivo evocándote,
Y sueño esperándote
Aquí, en mi barrio apartado.

English lyrics of the Tango "Notas de bandoneón"

In a secluded neighborhood, I have
A little house,
A refuge for my woes
Of a forgotten rake…
Alone… with no one by my side
I remained without love,
Because from loving so much
I have been left loveless.

Bandoneon notes arrive
In the night of my suburb,
They’re the notes of a heart
That, as it passes,
The wind brings.
Bandoneon notes arrive
And my solitude grows darker,
Its sad sound rains on my soul
And makes my deep emotion bloom…

Therefore, in my sad night
Alone… older and more tired,
I remember, deeply pained,
How much you loved me.
Knowing that I lost you
I live remembering you,
And I dream waiting for you
Here, in my secluded neighborhood.
