Letra del Tango Qué buena es

Recitado:
Cuando era fiel a tu lado
Sufrí el dolor de tu burla.
Hoy que el tiempo me ha cambiado
Me alejo feliz. Pero esta vez
En alas del amor que he soñado:
Ella sí, ¡Qué buena es!

Engaños, desprecios y burlas atroces,
Fue lo que me diste por amarte bien,
Y tú te reías al verme sumiso
Como un pobre esclavo, que implora un querer.

Pero hubo en el cielo negro de mi vida
Un brillar de estrellas, de alas un batir,
Y no vi tu rostro ni escuché tu burla
Llegaba la que me hizo feliz.

Me voy y tu risa es amargo llanto
Me voy. Tu desprecio es hoy suplicar.
Me voy. No te burles al verme partir,
Viendo que no es para ti, mi amor.

Llegó el castigo justiciero
Calló de tu risa, el cascabel,
Ya ves: Ahora sufres. Yo no sufro
Gozo, río, beso, amo…
¡Qué buena es!

English lyrics of the Tango "Qué buena es"

Recited:
When I was faithful by your side,
I endured the pain of your mockery.
Now that time has changed me,
I leave happily. But this time,
on the wings of the love I dreamed:
She is indeed, so good!

Deceit, scorn, and cruel mockeries,
was what you gave for loving well,
And you laughed to see me submissive,
like a poor slave begging for affection.

But in the black sky of my life,
there was a sparkle of stars, a flutter of wings,
And I did not see your face nor hear your mockery,
She arrived, the one who made me happy.

I leave and your laughter turns to bitter tears,
I leave. Your disdain now begs,
I leave. Do not mock as you see me depart,
Seeing that my love is not for you.

The deserved punishment has arrived,
Your laughter’s bell tolls no more,
You see: Now you suffer. I do not,
I revel, laugh, kiss, love…
She is so good!

Symbolically, this phrase highlights the protagonist’s renewed hope and happiness.
