Letra del Tango Resignate hermano

Que te pasa hermano que vivís tan triste,

que tus ojos baten una pena cruel.

Estás amargado porque la quisite

y porque supiste que te ha sido infiel.



Esas son sorpresas que la vida guarda,

mal pagar afectos con frío desdén.

Es un tema viejo que ya ni acobarda,

por la misma causa sufrí yo también.



Resignate hermano,

yo te lo aconsejo,

dejá que esas cosas

las arregle Dios.

Nosotros penando

corrimos parejo

por la misma herida

sangramos los dos.



Prometió quererte muy sinceramente

y porque juraba le tuviste fe.

Yo también he sido bastante creyente

y con su cariño, mil veces soñé.



Después el ‘oficio’ me ligó un proceso

y al ir condenado para la prisión,

la que yo llamaba, ‘dueña de mis besos’,

me dejó un recuerdo de desilusión.



Resignate, hermano,

yo te lo aconsejo.

No pensés en ella

ni guardés rencor.

En estos asuntos

yo soy zorro viejo.

Tratá de olvidarla

que será mejor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Resignate hermano"

What’s wrong, brother, living so sadly,
why do your eyes beat with cruel sorrow?
You’re bitter because you loved her,
and because you knew that she was unfaithful to you.

These are surprises that life keeps,
to repay affection with cold disdain.
It’s an old issue that doesn’t even scare anymore,
I suffered for the same reason too.

Resign yourself, brother,
I advise you,
let these things
be settled by God.
Both of us suffering,
ran alike,
from the same wound
we both bled.

She promised to love you very sincerely,
and because she swore, you believed her.
I have also been quite a believer,
and with her love, I dreamed a thousand times.

Then ‘the job’ tied me to a process,
and being condemned to prison,
the one I called, ‘owner of my kisses,’
left me a memory of disillusionment.

Resign yourself, brother,
I advise you.
Don’t think of her
nor hold a grudge.
In these matters,
I am an old fox.
Try to forget her
it will be better.
