Letra del Tango Por favor, no vuelvas

Después de tres meses
Hoy vienes a verme,
Hoy vuelves a hablarme
Te acuerdas de mí.
Tres meses horribles
De angustia y de espanto,
Saber que no vale
La pena vivir.

¡Tres meses!
De soledad y amargura,
Tu silencio que fue tortura
Que mi pecho destrozó.
No vuelvas a enloquecer
Mi existencia,
Si ayer te odié por tu ausencia
Hoy no te puedo mirar.
No vuelvas, no quiero
Que a tu presencia,
La perdone mi conciencia
Y yo te vuelva a besar!

No me cuentes nada,
Qué me importa el motivo,
Tal vez fue un capricho
Y hoy busca perdón.
Pero lo que es cierto
Que aquí entre nosotros,
El mártir no es otro
Que mi corazón!

English lyrics of the Tango "Por favor, no vuelvas"

After three months
Today you come to see me,
Today you speak to me again,
You remember me.
Three horrible months
Of anguish and terror,
Knowing it’s not worth
Living anymore.

Three months!
Of loneliness and bitterness,
Your silence was torture
That shattered my chest.
Don’t drive
My existence crazy again,
If yesterday I hated you for your absence
Today I can’t even look at you.
Don’t come back, I don’t want
Your presence to be forgiven
By my conscience
And for me to kiss you again!

Don’t tell me anything,
What does the reason matter to me?
Maybe it was a whim
And now seeks forgiveness.
But what is certain
Between us here,
The martyr is none other
Than my heart!
