Letra del Tango Sollozos

En un mundo de alegrías,
entre el humo y copas de champagne,
hay una almita afligida
que se esconde por llorar.
Atraído por su pena
mi pañuelo lágrimas secó,
mientras dijo: “Estoy enferma,
sufro y lloro por mi amor”.

Volvió su cara hacia mi lado,
acariciando su dolor.
Oí sollozos y cortados,
bajo habló: “Un hombre me engañó”.
Le dije: “Olvide su pasado,
olvide todo lo de ayer.
No llore si él no ha llorado,
ni pensó que sufre una mujer”.

Algo habría en su mirada
que no fue preciso adivinar,
ilusiones apagadas,
odio y ganas de vengar.
Dijo entonces que su vida
de pasión en pena se tornó.
Recordó felices días
a su vieja y su honor.

Pobre, su quebranto mi alma hirió,
que sin fuerzas me sentí,
cuando vi su relicario
y enseñó que el falso estaba allí.
Pobre, con cuanta tristeza vio
que por ella yo sufrí.
El pintar de sus labios,
la sonrisa para mí.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sollozos"

In a world of joys,
amidst the smoke and glasses of champagne,
there lies a troubled little soul
hiding just to cry.
Drawn by her sorrow,
my handkerchief dried her tears,
as she said, “I am sick,
I suffer and cry for my love.”

She turned her face towards me,
caressing her pain.
I heard her sobs break through,
she spoke softly, “A man deceived me.”
I told her, “Forget your past,
forget all about yesterday.
Don’t cry if he hasn’t shed a tear,
nor thought of a woman’s suffering.”

Something in her gaze
needed no guessing,
dulled illusions,
hatred and a desire for revenge.
She then said that her life
turned from passion to sorrow.
She reminisced about happier days,
her old self and her honor.

Poor her, her anguish wounded my soul,
I felt powerless,
when I saw her locket
and she showed that the deceit was there.
Poor her, how sadly she saw
that I suffered for her.
The painting of her lips,
the smile for me.

Story behind the Tango Sollozos
