Letra del Tango Su carta no llegó

Sus cartas no han llegado, la tarde ya pasó,
la noche esta vacía, vacío el corazón.
La luna está temblando y evoco en su fulgor
comprendo que estoy solo, su carta no llegó.
Te quise y me querías y entonces me alejé.
Mi vida no ha cambiado, te quiero como ayer.
El viento del invierno se agolpa en el cristal,
sus cartas no han llegado, tal vez no lleguen más.

Las sombras son tus ojos,
las flores son tu piel.
Me siguen tus recuerdos,
me duele tanto ayer.
Las ramas son tus manos,
las brisas son tu voz.
Grabada en todas partes
te encuentra el corazón.

Los meses y los días se deshojaran en el calendario.
Tus cartas fueron palomas que huyeron del campanario.
Inútil fue la espera de una carta que no llegó…
por saber lo que decía de angustia se muere el corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Su carta no llegó"

Your letters have not arrived, the afternoon has passed,
the night is empty, the heart is empty, too.
The moon is trembling, and as I gaze at its glow
I realize I’m alone, your letter did not come.
I loved you, and you loved me, then I walked away.
My life has not changed, I love you as before.
The winter wind presses against the glass,
your letters have not arrived, perhaps they never will.

The shadows are your eyes,
the flowers are your skin.
Your memories follow me,
yesterday hurts so much.
The branches are your hands,
the breezes are your voice.
Etched in everything,
the heart finds you.

The months and days will shed on the calendar.
Your letters were doves that fled the belfry.
Useless was the wait for a letter that did not come…
to know what it said is to let the heart die of anguish.
