Letra del Tango Recuerdos de bohemia

Fui tu amor primero tu Manón y tu Griseta,
fui la inspiradora de tus sueños de poeta,
fui la compañera
lírica y sincera
fuente de entusiasmo y de fervor.
Hoy que ya has triunfado me separo de tu vida.
Hoy me haces a un lado de tu senda florecida.
No te apiada mi dolor
y de la gloria en el dintel
olvidas que te dio el laurel
mi amor.

Dime por qué, por qué olvidar
que yo hice florecer
tu primavera.
Por qué
tu corazón me abandonó.
Por qué
tu mano me alejó.
Dime por qué, por qué, dejar
a quién te dio su ser
su vida entera.
Por qué
pagaste así cruel con tu rigor
todo mi amor.

Vuelve a mi recuerdo tu bohemia de estudiante.
Yo a tu lado siempre como madre y como amante.
Lámpara encendida
fui para tu vida
cántico de fe para tu ardor.
Hoy dominan tu alma la ambición y las pasiones,
corres embriagado tras de nuevas ilusiones.
Mas si un día de dolor
te hiere el latigazo cruel,
no olvides que te espera fiel
mi amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Recuerdos de bohemia"

I was your first love, your Manon, your Grisette,
I inspired the dreams your poet soul beset,
I was your sincere
companion, always near,
source of enthusiasm and of fervor dear.
Now that you have triumphed, I leave your life today.
Now you cast me aside from your blossoming way.
Unmoved by my despair,
at the gate of your renown,
you forget love gave your crown,
my care.

Tell me why, why forget
that I made you bloom
in springtime.
Why
did your heart leave me behind?
Why
did your hand so detach?
Tell me why, why forsake
the one who gave to you
her entire being.
Why
did you repay my love with cold,
so cruelly to depart?

I remember now your student bohemian ways.
I was ever near, a lover and mother’s gaze.
Like a lamp, ever bright,
I lit up your life,
hymnal of belief for your fiery strife.
Now ambition and passion, your soul they control,
chasing intoxicating dreams that take their toll.
But if one day’s bitter sting
strikes you with cruel lash of pain,
remember my love waits again,
faithful.
