Letra del Tango Por qué te sigo queriendo

Yo no sé por qué vivís mintiendo
Dicha y cariño que no me das,
Y jugás con quien te está queriendo
Como ninguno te amó jamás.
Me alejé pensando que algún día
Me extrañarías como yo a vos,
Y al final comprendo que es mentira
Sólo mentira todo tu amor.

Por qué te sigo queriendo
Si me hacen daño tus ojos,
Si me hacen daño tus labios
Cuando te quiero besar.
Por qué te sigo queriendo
Contento con tu presencia,
Si es tanta tu indiferencia
Que hasta quisiera llorar.
Por eso mil y una vez
Yo me pregunto, muriendo,
Por qué te sigo queriendo
Si sé que no me querés.

Vos sabés que yo jugué mis sueños
A la esperanza de tu querer,
Y sabés que puse en ese empeño
Toda mi alma… toda mi fe.
Yo no sé por qué reís ahora
Que me devora tanta pasión,
Y escondés así tus sentimientos
Para tormento del corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Por qué te sigo queriendo"

I don’t know why you live lying
Joy and affection you do not give me,
And you play with one who is loving you
Like no one ever loved you before.
I walked away thinking that someday
You would miss me as I miss you,
And in the end, I understand it’s a lie
All your love is just a lie.

Why do I still love you
If your eyes hurt me,
If your lips hurt me
When I want to kiss you.
Why do I still love you
Happy just with your presence,
When your indifference is so great
That I might even want to cry.
That is why a thousand and one times
I ask myself, dying,
Why do I still love you
If I know that you don’t love me.

You know that I gambled my dreams
On the hope of your love,
And you know that I put in that effort
All my soul… all my faith.
I don’t know why you laugh now
Consumed by so much passion,
And thus you hide your feelings
To the torment of the heart.
