Letra del Tango Tango amigo

Este tango que al verter de su queja la emoción,
va directo con su acento a golpear tu corazón.
Es más que un tango, es algo así como un lamento,
es la voz del sentimiento, verdadera confesión.
Es el grito de un querer, el clamor de una ilusión,
torturado pensamiento que halla un eco en mi canción.
Y no comprendes esta voz, que en mi garganta,
se estremece cuando canta y solloza de pasión.

Tango amigo,
que tu dulce melodía
le confíe mi soñar,
y que pueda todavía
el pesar del alma mía
su cariño disipar.
Tango amigo,
en el ala de los vientos
llevaré con mi dolor
y que el estremecimiento
palpitante de tu acento
le hable siempre de mi amor.

Yo quisiera que al sentir de estas notas el fervor
comprendieras que mi vida sólo es vida con tu amor.
Si tu me alzaste, con piedad, en mi caída,
dile a mi alma dolorida que no pierda su valor.
Este tango es el latir de mi pobre corazón,
es la ofrenda agradecida a quien fue mi salvación.
Mas si jamás he de ocupar tu pensamiento,
yo no sé si en mi tormento hallaré resignación.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tango amigo"

This tango, pouring out its emotional complaint,
goes straight with its accent to strike your heart.
It’s more than a tango, it’s something like a lament,
it is the voice of feeling, a true confession.
It is the cry of love, the clamor of a dream,
tortured thought that finds an echo in my song.
And you do not understand this voice, which in my throat,
quivers when it sings and sobs from passion.

Tango friend,
let your sweet melody
confide my dreams,
and may it still
dispel the sorrow of my soul
with its care.
Tango friend,
on the wings of the winds
I will carry my pain,
and may the trembling
of your throbbing accent
always speak of my love.

I wish that feeling the fervor of these notes
you would understand that my life is only alive with your love.
If you’ve lifted me with pity, in my fall,
tell my pained soul not to lose its courage.
This tango is the beating of my poor heart,
it is the thankful offering to who was my salvation.
But if I am never to occupy your thoughts,
I do not know if in my torment I will find resignation.
