Letra del Tango Por qué la quise tanto

Remotos acordeones
despliegan en la noche
sus pájaros de brumas
y un coro de fantasmas
que gritan en las sombras
preguntan y preguntan,
preguntan por qué lloro,
preguntan por qué canto,
por qué no la maldigo,
por qué la quise tanto… tanto…

Yo sólo sé que fue el remanso de mi vida gris,
que en el calvario de mis días fue una tibia luz,
que bendigo esta negra cruz,
que está aquí… y está ausente…
y sangra en mis labios desesperadamente.

Las sombras implacables
jugando con mi angustia
me acosan y preguntan,
preguntan por qué en vano
la espero todavía;
por qué vivo soñando
que alguna vez fue mía… mía…

English lyrics of the Tango "Por qué la quise tanto"

Distant accordions
unleash in the night
their misty birds
and a chorus of ghosts
that scream in the shadows
asking and asking,
asking why I cry,
asking why I sing,
why I don’t curse her,
why I loved her so much… so much…

I only know she was the haven of my gray life,
that in the calvary of my days was a gentle light,
that I bless this black cross,
that is here… and is absent…
and bleeds on my lips desperately.

The relentless shadows
playing with my anguish
haunt and question me,
asking why in vain
I still await her;
why I live dreaming
that once she was mine… mine…
