Letra del Tango Ronda de tango

No solo ayer el tango
Fue la emoción,
De nuestra muchachada.
Lo mismo es hoy
Se canta, de corazón,
En todas las barriadas.

Se hizo tristón de hombres sabios
Y un viejo amor,
Con un azul y glicinas.
Y fue canción en los labios
Del más cantor,
En la reunión de la esquina.

Así nació la ronda del tango
Sencillo y querendón.

Ronda, ronda del tango
Que vuelca los motivos,
Sencillos y tristones
Que están en el olvido.
Ronda, ronda del tango
En cada melodía,
Siempre hay algún recuerdo
Nos habla de otros días.

Dulce emoción de los barrios
Que pasan las horas,
Cantando, cantando.
Y en cada verso pintando
Con letras de tango,
Al viejo arrabal.

English lyrics of the Tango "Ronda de tango"

Not just yesterday did tango
Become the emotion,
Of our youth.
It is the same today,
Sung from the heart,
In all the neighborhoods.

It became the sad companion of wise men
And an old love,
With a touch of blue and wisterias.
And it turned into a song on the lips
Of the most sung,
At the corner gathering.

Thus was born the round of the simple, loving tango.

Round, round of the tango
That spills the motives,
Simple and melancholic
That are forgotten.
Round, round of the tango
In each melody,
There is always some memory
Speaking of other days.

Sweet emotion of the neighborhoods
That pass the hours,
Singing, singing.
And in each verse painting
With tango lyrics,
The old neighborhood.
