Letra del Tango Sollozo de bandoneón

Ven a bailar, que quiero hablarte,
aparte de tus amigas.
Quiero que escuches mi fracaso
y que en mis brazos el tango sigas.
Después de un año vuelvo a hallarte
y al verte me pongo triste,
porque esta noche he de contarte
que por perderte sufro de amor.

Quien sufre por amor
comprende este dolor,
este dolor que nos embarga.
Quien sufre por amor
comprenderá el dolor
que viene a herir
como una daga.
Te tuve y te perdí
y yo qué soy sin ti.
Quien sufre por amor
comprenderá mejor
por qué solloza el bandoneón.

Con su gemir de corazones
los bandoneones lloran su pena,
igual que yo sollozan ellos,
porque en sus notas hay amores
y por amores hoy sufro yo.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sollozo de bandoneón"

Come dance, I want to talk to you,
away from your friends.
I want you to hear about my failure
and continue the tango in my arms.
After a year, I find you again
and seeing you makes me sad,
because tonight I have to tell you
that losing you, I suffer from love.

Who suffers for love
understands this pain,
this pain that overwhelms us.
Who suffers for love
will understand the pain
that comes to wound
like a dagger.
I had you and I lost you
and what am I without you.
Who suffers for love
will better understand
why the bandoneon weeps.

With its moan of hearts,
the bandoneons cry out their sorrow,
just like me they sob,
because in their notes there are loves
and for loves, today I suffer.
