Letra del Tango Orquestas de mi ciudad

Cuando su voz quiebra el silencio
y van surgiendo acentos de emociones,
la orquesta nos ofrece los compases
de un tango dulzon, secretos sones.
Y vibra el corazón de los violines
y se alegra la boca de los pianos,
alarga el bandoneón un llanto tibio
y el que canta persigue sueños vanos.

Orquestas de mi ciudad,
música, versos sentidos
que mi alma guarda encendidos
y que nunca morirán.
Orquestas de mi ciudad,
en cada barrio una novia,
en cada tango una historia
que se renueva al bailar.
Orquestas de mi ciudad,
compañera de ilusiones,
vas regalando emociones,
orquestas de mi ciudad.

English lyrics of the Tango "Orquestas de mi ciudad"

When her voice breaks the silence
and emotions’ accents begin to rise,
the orchestra offers the rhythms
of a sweet tango, secret tones.
And the violins’ heart throbs,
and the pianos’ mouths brighten,
the bandoneon extends a warm lament
and the singer chases vain dreams.

Orchestras of my city,
music, heartfelt verses
that my soul keeps bright
and that will never die.
Orchestras of my city,
in every neighborhood a sweetheart,
in every tango a story
that renews with each dance.
Orchestras of my city,
companions of dreams,
giving away emotions,
orchestras of my city.
