Letra del Tango Prefiero perderte

La fiebre de mis venas se ahoga en tu capricho.
Rebelde y hechicera, negándote al amor.
En cada risa tuya se esconde un desafío
que nace, oscuro y frío, sin sueños de ventura.
La fiebre de mis venas agranda mi martirio
y noche a noche siento morir mi corazón.

Prefiero perderte, no ser tu fantoche.
Ya nunca he de verte, para siempre adiós.
Todo mi cariño quedará a tu lado
yo estaré muy solo, recordándote.
Prefiero perderte a vivir esclavo
del hondo misterio que encierra tu amor.
Prefiero perderte, aunque sufra mucho,
aunque me desangre por volverte a ver.

Culpable,
culpable es el pasado que te cerró la mano
con un ensueño roto, vacío, sin calor.
Culpable de tus dudas, de ver que no hay hermando
y yo pagué ese daño con tragos de amargura.

English lyrics of the Tango "Prefiero perderte"

The fever in my veins drowns in your whims.
Rebellious and enchanting, denying yourself to love.
In every laugh of yours hides a challenge
born dark and cold, with no dreams of bliss.
The fever in my veins intensifies my torment
and night by night I feel my heart die.

I’d rather lose you, not be your puppet.
Never again will I see you, forever goodbye.
All my love will remain by your side
I’ll be alone, remembering you.
I’d prefer losing you to living enslaved
by the deep mystery that your love conceals.
I’d rather lose you, even if I suffer greatly,
even if I bleed for seeing you again.

Guilty,
guilty is the past that closed your hand
with a shattered dream, empty, without warmth.
Guilty of your doubts, seeing there’s no kinship
and I paid for that damage with sips of bitterness.
