Letra del Tango Sentimiento gaucho

En un viejo almacén del Paseo Colón
donde van los que tienen perdida la fe,
todo sucio, harapiento, una tarde encontré
a un borracho sentado en oscuro rincón.
Al mirarle sentí una profunda emoción
porque en su alma un dolor secreto adiviné
y, sentándome cerca, a su lado, le hablé,
y él, entonces, me hizo esta cruel confesión.
Ponga, amigo, atención.

Sabe que es condición de varón el sufrir…
La mujer que yo quería con todo mi corazón
se me ha ido con un hombre que la supo seducir
y, aunque al irse mi alegría tras de ella se llevó,
no quisiera verla nunca… Que en la vida sea feliz
con el hombre que la tiene pa’ su bien… o qué sé yo.
Porque todo aquel amor que por ella yo sentí
lo cortó de un solo tajo con el filo’e su traición…

Pero inútil… No puedo, aunque quiera, olvidar
el recuerdo de la que fue mi único amor.
Para ella ha de ser como el trébol de olor
que perfuma al que la vida le va a arrancar.
Y, si acaso algún día quisiera volver
a mi lado otra vez, yo la he de perdonar.
Si por celos a un hombre se puede matar
se perdona cuando habla muy fuerte el querer
a cualquiera mujer.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sentimiento gaucho"

In an old store on Paseo Colón
where those who have lost faith go,
all dirty, ragged, one afternoon I found
a drunk sitting in a dark corner.
Looking at him, I felt a deep emotion
because I sensed a secret pain in his soul
and, sitting close, beside him, I spoke,
and then, he made this cruel confession.
Pay attention, my friend.

You know it’s a man’s fate to suffer…
The woman I loved with all my heart
has left with a man who knew how to seduce her
and, although when she left my joy went with her,
I never want to see her again… May she be happy in life
with the man who has her for better… or whatever.
Because all the love I felt for her
she cut in one stroke with the edge of her betrayal…

But futile… I cannot, even if I want, forget
the memory of the one who was my only love.
For her, it should be like the fragrant clover
that perfumes he who life is about to tear away.
And, if someday she wanted to return
to my side again, I would forgive her.
If out of jealousy a man can be killed
forgiveness speaks when love shouts
for any woman.
