Letra del Tango Solamente ella

Ella vino una tarde y era triste
fantasma de silencio y de canción,
llegaba desde un mundo que no existe.
Vacío de esperanza el corazón.
Era nube, sin rumbo ni destino,
tenía la ternura del adiós.
Mi paso la siguió por cien caminos
y un día mi fatiga la alcanzó.

Ella,
piel de sombra, voz ausente.
Ella, en mis brazos se durmió.
Juntos, sin saberlo torpemente,
aprendimos duramente
las verdades del amor.
Ella, floreció bajo la luna.
Ella, renació para mi afán.
Juntos, sin angustias, sin reproche,
sin pasado, noche a noche,
aprendimos a soñar.

Sus palabras que estaban ateridas.
Entonces se encendieron de emoción.
Con fuego de mi amor volvió a la vida,
la que era sólo el eco de un adiós.
Ella vino a mi mano en el invierno,
vacío de esperanza el corazón.
Hoy vive entre mis sueños y es eterno
su sueño de mujer y de canción.

English lyrics of the Tango "Solamente ella"

She came one afternoon and was sad,
a ghost of silence and of song,
coming from a world that doesn’t exist,
her heart empty of hope for so long.
She was a cloud, with no aim or fate,
held the tenderness of a farewell.
My steps followed her through a hundred paths,
and one day, my weariness caught up as well.

She,
skin of shadow, absent voice.
She, in my arms, fell asleep.
Together, unwittingly and awkward,
we learned harshly,
the truths of love.
She, bloomed beneath the moon.
She, was reborn for my longing.
Together, without anguish, without blame,
without a past, night by night,
we learned to dream.

Her words that were frozen still,
then sparked with emotion and light.
With the fire of my love, she came back to life,
the one who was just a goodbye’s echo despite.
She came to my hand in the winter,
her heart empty of hope for a time.
Today she lives among my dreams and is eternal,
her dream of woman and of rhyme.
