Letra del Tango Pero te sigo queriendo

Por tu amor olvidé lo más sagrado

y en la cruz de tu pecado

yo quedé crucificado.

Fue tu amor un puñal envenenado,

si hasta el mango lo has clavado

sin tenerme compasión.

Garra que desgarra fue tu beso,

que me duele todavía,

y a pesar de todo yo te nombro

siempre, siempre, en mi agonía.

Por tu amor yo sufrí lo más horrendo

pero te sigo queriendo,

siempre, siempre, más y mas.



Un infierno fue tu amor

donde el alma me quemé

y viví desesperado

si en tus besos he dejado

mil pedazos de mi vida.

Por tu culpa, nada más,

ya quede sin corazón,

pero igual he de quererte

porque sé que ni la muerte

me arrancará de tu amor.



Vuelve, aunque me mientas,

necesito tus caricias y tus besos.

Aunque cada beso me envenene

y me arrastre hasta la muerte.

Ya lo ves, siempre igual te estoy llamando

y mi amor te está esperando

aunque sos mi perdición.

English lyrics of the Tango "Pero te sigo queriendo"

For your love, I forgot the most sacred things,
And on the cross of your sin,
I remained crucified.
Your love was a poisoned dagger,
Deep to the handle you plunged it,
Without any compassion for me.

Your kiss was a tearing claw,
That still hurts me,
And despite it all, I utter your name,
Always, always, in my agony.

For your love, I suffered the most horrendous,
But I still love you,
Always, always, more and more.

Your love was hell
Where I burned my soul,
And I lived in despair
Because in your kisses I’ve left
Thousand pieces of my life.
Because of you, just you,
I’m now heartless,
But I still must love you
Because I know that not even death
Will tear me away from your love.

Come back, even if you lie,
I need your caresses and kisses.
Even if every kiss poisons me
And drags me to death.
You see, I’m still calling you the same,
And my love is waiting for you
Even though you are my ruin.
