Letra del Tango Silbando un tango

Doblar la esquina del barrio,
Salir de noche
Silbando un tango.
Como en aquellos veinte años,
Con los amigos
Que tanto extraño.
Noche tras noche, soñando
Sin desengaños del corazón,
Como en aquellos veinte años,
Silbando un tango
Salgamos hoy…

“Viejo rincón”, “El entrerriano”,
“Confesión” o “Mano a mano”,
Al silbar un tango recordamos
O lloramos un amor.
Aquel amor de los veinte años
Que hoy será, la letra de algún tango,
Yo me pierdo recordando
Silbando un tango, cuánta emoción…

Después de tantos inviernos,
Volver al barrio
De mis recuerdos.
Donde con otros muchachos,
Por esas calles
Silbaba un tango.
Cuando una cara bonita
Era la cita y una emoción,
Como aquellos veinte años,
Silbando un tango
Junto al buzón…

English lyrics of the Tango "Silbando un tango"

Turn the corner of the neighborhood,
Go out at night
Whistling a tango.
Just like those days when I was twenty,
With friends
Whom I miss so much.
Night after night, dreaming
Without heartbreak,
Just like those days when I was twenty,
Whistling a tango,
Let’s go out tonight…

“Old corner,” “El entrerriano,”
“Confession” or “Mano a mano,”
As we whistle a tango, we reminisce
Or weep over a past love.
That love from when we were twenty
That today becomes the lyrics of some tango,
I lose myself remembering
Whistling a tango, what emotion…

After so many winters,
Returning to the neighborhood
Of my memories.
Where with other guys,
On those streets
I used to whistle a tango.
When a pretty face
Was a date and a thrill,
Just like those days when I was twenty,
Whistling a tango
By the mailbox…
