Letra del Tango Qué lindo es estar metido

¡Qué lindo es estar metido
y vivir pensando en ella
y sentir que como un frío
se nos entra por las venas!
¡Qué lindo es estar metido,
palpitando que ella vuelva
y sentir muy despacito
taconear por la escalera!

Aún recuerdo aquella noche
cuando, solos en la pieza,
al mirarme yo en sus ojos
soñaba la dicha eterna,
y asomaba en su carita
lagrimones como perlas,
como diciendo: ¡Qué triste!
¡Qué triste ha de ser la ausencia!

¡Qué lindo es estar metido,
tiradito en la catrera
y ver que se va acabando
aquel cachito de vela!
¡Qué lindo es estar metido
y dormir pensando en ella,
mientras la cera, al quemarse,
va formando su silueta!

English lyrics of the Tango "Qué lindo es estar metido"

How beautiful it is to be in love
and live thinking of her
and to feel as though a chill
creeps into our veins!
How beautiful it is to be in love,
throbbing with hope that she returns
and to faintly hear
her heels tapping up the stairs!

I still remember that night
when, alone in the room,
gazing into her eyes
I dreamed of eternal bliss,
and on her little face appeared
tears large as pearls,
as if to say: How sad!
How sad absence must be!

How beautiful it is to be in love,
lying on the cot
and seeing that little piece of candle
gradually burn away!
How beautiful it is to be in love
and sleep while thinking of her,
while the wax, as it burns,
forms her silhouette!
