Letra del Tango Porteño y bailarín

Porteño y bailarín, me hiciste tango, como soy:
Romántico y dulzón…
Me inspira tu violín, me arrastra el alma de tu compás,
me arrulla el bandoneón…
Melancólica casita, suspirando amor,
le di en tus puertas mi querer,
y en tu criolla ventanita recostada al sol,
rompió mis cuerdas el ayer.
Todo mi drama está en tu voz,
manos en adiós,
labios en carmín…
Por ella y por su amor me hiciste tango, como soy:
¡Porteño y bailarín!

Qué importa el sueño,
que a mis pupilas roban,
las mentidas horas
de bailar sin calma.
¡Qué importa el miedo
de dar la vida!
Si encontrara el beso,
que me pide el alma.
Hoy se que fueron
Tangos, amor y copas,
Golondrinas locas,
en mi corazón.

Porteño y bailarín, resuena tango… que en tu voz
hoy vivo un novelón.
Su aliento vuelve a mi como esa noche que abracé,
su tierno corazón…
Mlancólica casita de cristal y azul,
si a preguntar vuelve una vez,
en tu criolla ventanita transformada en cruz,
decile cuánto la loré.
Una guitarra, un bordonear,
sueños y cantar…
¡Todo se llevó!
Porteño y bailarín, me hiciste tango, como soy,
romántico y dulzón…

English lyrics of the Tango "Porteño y bailarín"

Porteno and dancer, you made me tango, as I am:
Romantic and sweet…
Your violin inspires me, your rhythm’s soul carries me away,
the bandoneon lullabies me…
Melancholic little house, sighing with love,
I gave my heart at your door,
and in your Creole window, resting in the sun,
the past broke my strings.
All my drama is in your voice,
hands in farewell,
lips in crimson…
For her and for her love, you made me tango, as I am:
Porteno and dancer!

What does it matter, the dream
that robs my pupils
with deceiving hours
of restless dancing.
What does it matter, the fear
of giving life!
If I found the kiss,
my soul craves.
Today I know they were
Tangos, love, and drinks,
Crazy swallows,
in my heart.

Porteno and dancer, tango echoes… in your voice
today I live a melodrama.
Its breath returns to me like that night I embraced
her tender heart…
Melancholic little house of glass and blue,
if she returns once again to ask,
in your Creole window turned into a cross,
tell her how much I cried.
A guitar, a strumming,
dreams and singing…
Everything was taken!
Porteno and dancer, you made me tango, as I am,
romantic and sweet…
