Letra del Tango Tango y copas (Otro tango)

Al influjo de tu tango

se despierta mi nostalgia

y al conjuro de tu voz

se me arruga el corazón,

bandoneón de voz amarga.



La nostalgia pide copas

y las copas piden tangos,

venga un tango rezongón,

una copa y la emoción

de evocar el viejo amor.



Otro tango y otra copa

que en mi vida es emoción

que se desborda.

Esta noche tengo ganas

de aturdirme de dolor

y de nostalgias,

aunque se que vuelvo

a abrir la herida.

Otro tango y otra copa

que, a su influjo,

lo rescato del ayer.



Emoción de copa y tango

que se enreda en los sentidos

mientras gime el bandoneón

y lamente el corazón

la ilusión que se ha perdido.



La nostalgia pide copas

y las copas piden tangos.

Ronda loca de emoción

donde gira este dolor

de evocar el viejo amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tango y copas (Otro tango)"

Under the influence of your Tango,

my nostalgia awakens,

and by the spell of your voice,

my heart crinkles up,

bandoneon of bitter voice.

Nostalgia asks for glasses,

and the glasses ask for tangos,

bring a grumbling tango,

a glass and the thrill

of recalling an old love.

Another tango and another glass

in my life it’s an emotion

that overflows.

Tonight I feel like

drowning in pain

and nostalgia,

though I know I’m reopening

the wound.

Another tango and another glass

that, under its influence,

I rescue from yesterday.

Emotion of glass and tango

that tangles in the senses

while the bandoneon moans

and the heart laments

the illusion that’s been lost.

Nostalgia asks for glasses,

and the glasses ask for tangos.

Crazy round of emotion

where this pain spins

of recalling the old love.
