Letra del Tango Qué tenés que hablar de mi

No te asombres porque he vuelto,
ni me mires asustada.
Lo pensé tranquilamente,
antes de volver aquí.
Y aunque estoy en mi derecho,
no he venido a hacerte nada,
nada más que a preguntarte,
¡qué tenés que hablar de mi!
Vos sabes que yo no he sido,
ni cobarde, ni malvado,
sin embargo todos hablan
de lo que yo nunca fui.
Y lo peor, lo más terrible,
lo que me tiene amargado,
es que seas vos quien siembra
lo que dicen por ahí.

Quién te puede haber querido
tanto, tanto como yo.
Vos sabés lo que yo hice
para hundirme en el olvido
por tu amor, tu mal amor.
Si te queda un resto de alma,
por lo mucho que sufrí,
contestame francamente,
cara a cara, así de frente,
¡qué tenés que hablar de mi!

Sin embargo vos has hecho
de que todos me creyeran
el cobarde y el malvado
que sabés que nunca fui.
Yo tendría que vengarme
y que todos lo supieran,
pero yo no puedo hacerte
lo que vos me has hecho a mi.
Yo me fui y a nadie dije,
lo que hubo entre nosotros.
Yo sabía el bien que hacia,
para mi y para vos.
Porque la desgracia de unos,
es la risa de los otros,
y yo no quise que nadie
se burlara de los dos.

English lyrics of the Tango "Qué tenés que hablar de mi"

Don’t be surprised that I’ve returned,
nor look at me in fear.
I considered this calmly,
before coming back here.
And though it’s my right,
I’ve come not to cause distress,
just to ask you one question –
what have you to say of me?

You know well I was neither
a coward, nor a villain,
yet everyone speaks of
a man I’ve never been.
And the worst, most terrible part,
what truly sours my taste,
is that it’s you who scatters
the rumors that they chase.

Who could have loved you
as deeply as I did?
You know what I’ve endured
to drown in forgetfulness
for your love, your cruel love.
If there’s any soul left in you,
for all the pain that I bore,
answer me honestly,
face to face, outright,
what have you to say of me?

Yet you’ve made everyone believe
the coward and the villain
you know I never was.
I should seek vengeance
so everyone knows the truth,
but I can’t do to you
what you have done to me.
I left without telling anyone
what happened between us.
I knew the good it would do,
for both you and me.
For one person’s misfortune
is another’s laughter,
and I didn’t want anyone
mocking either of us.
