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 drags my soul,
the bandoneon lulls me…
Melancholic little house, sighing with love,
I gave my love at your doors,
and on your small window leaning in the sun,
yesterday broke my strings.
All my drama is in your voice,
hands in goodbye,
lips in crimson…
For her and for her love, you made me tango, as I am:
Porteno and dancer!

What does the dream matter,
that my pupils steal,
the false hours
of dancing without calm.
What does the fear matter
of giving life!
If I found the kiss,
that my soul craves.
Today I know they were
Tangots, love, and drinks,
Crazy swallows,
in my heart.

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