Letra del Tango Rebeldía

Con las manos rojas de apretar el corazón,

ahogando un grito sordo de rencor.

Rebelde como el agua frente al fuego,

como el mar frente a las rocas, hoy me rebelo.

Con tu amor tirano que no sabe de razón,

rebelde con mi propio corazón.

Te pido que te vayas, que me dejes,

que te alejes de una vez, ¡será mejor!



Sé que lloraré después,

que jamás te olvidaré.

Sé que cada noche sin tu risa, sin tu voz,

¡cuánto extrañaré tu amor!

Pero es preferible más perderte

a seguir siendo un fantoche

sólo por verte.

No, ¡dejame por favor!

Hoy se rebeló mi amor.



Sin pedirte nada te entregué mi corazón

a cambio de migajas de tu amor.

Gasté mi corazón y mi fortuna

entregado a la locura de amarte tanto.

Pero ha sido inútil, recibí por tanto amor

desprecio, falsedad y humillación.

Por eso es que te pido que te vayas,

que te alejes de una vez, ¡será mejor!

English lyrics of the Tango "Rebeldía"

With hands red from gripping the heart tight,
suppressing a muffled scream of spite.
Rebellious like water against fire,
like the sea against the rocks, today I rebel.

With your tyrannical love that lacks reason,
rebellious against my own heart.
I ask you to go, to leave me,
to stay away at last, it will be better!

I know I will cry later,
that I will never forget you.
I know that each night without your laugh, without your voice,
how much I will miss your love!
But it’s better to lose you
than to continue being a puppet
just to see you.
No, please leave me!
Today my love rebelled.

Without asking for anything I gave you my heart
in exchange for crumbs of your love.
I spent my heart and my fortune
committed to the madness of loving you so much.
But it has been in vain, I’ve received for so much love
contempt, falsehood, and humiliation.
That is why I ask you to go,
to stay away at last, it will be better!
