Letra del Tango Qué me importa tu pasado

Desde hace tiempo te noto triste,
ronda el silencio, llora el amor.
Como un reproche por lo que fuiste
grabado a fuego en tu corazón.
Ya muchas veces bajás la frente
cuando en mis brazos te refugias,
como temiendo que de repente,
tu pobre dicha no encuentres más.

Qué me importa tu pasado,
no llorés, mi buena amiga.
No es un crimen ser golpeado
ni es delito haber rodado
en las vueltas de la vida.
Qué me importa tu pasado,
si yo que nunca guapeé,
si te ofende algún cobarde,
te lo juro por mi madre,
me juego donde me ve.

No tengas miedo, soy de una pieza,
no me interesa lo que dirán.
Que nos importan las cosas viejas,
las viejas sombras que ya no están.
Tus ojos miran y están perdidos,
estás cansada de tanto andar.
Pero a mi lado siempre habrá un nido
y un pecho amigo donde llorar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Qué me importa tu pasado"

For some time now, I’ve noticed you’re sad,
silence lingers, love weeps.
Like a reproach for what you once were,
etched by fire in your heart.
Often you lower your gaze
when you find refuge in my arms,
as if fearing that suddenly,
your meager joy you’ll find no more.

What do I care about your past,
don’t cry, my good friend.
It’s not a crime to have been beaten,
nor a misdeed to have stumbled
through the turns of life.
What do I care about your past,
if I, who’ve never flaunted courage,
if a coward offends you,
I swear on my mother,
I’ll stand up wherever I am.

Don’t be afraid, I am resolute,
I’m not concerned with what they’ll say.
Why care about old things,
the old shadows that are no more.
Your eyes look and are lost,
you’re tired from so much walking.
But by my side there’ll always be a nest,
and a friendly chest to cry on.
