Letra del Tango Rondando tu esquina

Esta noche tengo ganas de buscarla,
de borrar lo que ha pasado y perdonarla.
Ya no me importa el qué dirán
ni de las cosas que hablarán…
¡Total la gente siempre habla!
Yo no pienso más que en ella a toda hora.
Es terrible esta pasión devoradora.
Y ella siempre sin saber,
sin siquiera sospechar
mis deseos de volver…

¿Qué me has dado, vida mía,
que ando triste noche y día?
Rondando siempre tu esquina,
mirando siempre tu casa,
y esta pasión que lastima,
y este dolor que no pasa.
¿Hasta cuando iré sufriendo
el tormento de tu amor?

Este pobre corazón que no la olvida
me la nombra con los labios de su herida
y ahondando más su sinsabor
la mariposa del dolor
cruza en la noche de mi vida.
Compañeros, hoy es noche de verbena.
Sin embargo, yo no puedo con mi pena
y al saber que ya no está,
solo, triste y sin amor
me pregunto sin cesar.

English lyrics of the Tango "Rondando tu esquina"

Tonight I feel like looking for her,
to erase what has happened and forgive her.
I no longer care what people will say
nor about the things they will talk about…
After all, people always talk!
I think of her all the time.
This consuming passion is terrible.
And she always unaware,
without even suspecting
my desires to return…

What have you given me, my life,
that I walk sad night and day?
Always roaming around your corner,
always looking at your house,
and this passion that hurts,
and this pain that does not pass.
How long will I keep suffering
the torment of your love?

This poor heart that does not forget her
names her with the lips of its wound
and deepening its bitterness more
the butterfly of pain
crosses the night of my life.
Comrades, tonight is a party night.
However, I cannot cope with my sorrow
and knowing that she is gone,
alone, sad, and unloved
I endlessly ask myself.
