Letra del Tango Tangueando te quiero

¿Dónde está tu canyenguear
qué pasó, che bandoneón?
Que hoy no escucho en mi arrabal
más que boleros.
Me han copado y soy cantor
payaré si hay que payar,
Buenos Aires tangueando te quiero.
Mi canción no es rencor ni es reproche
es un grito de rebelión.
Ya verán lo que es soñar
sonreír o lagrimear,
cuando llegue esta viruta al corazón.

Bailar,
sintiendo con su aliento el metejón,
es incendiar la vida
en un compás de amor.
Quemar con otra boca el beso que mintió
la que hasta ayer fue mía.
Es lo que busco yo.

Corazón, por qué llorar,
corazón, por qué sufrir
si esta vida es una rueda numerada.
Bola blanca es el amor
que en un salto original
busca un pecho pa’ herirlo y se clava.
Ella puso en mi afán la fortuna
de sus manos y su reír,
yo mis fichas aposté
y ya ves como quedé,
entre copas y amargao pa’ no morir.

English lyrics of the Tango "Tangueando te quiero"

Where is your swaying gone,
what happened, hey bandoneon?
Now in my neighborhood I hear
only boleros.
They’ve taken over, and I’m a singer,
I’ll perform if needed,
Buenos Aires, I love you tangoing.
My song is not spite nor reproach,
it’s a cry of rebellion.
They will see what it means to dream,
to smile or to tear,
when this spark hits the heart.

Dance,
feeling with its breath the infatuation,
is to ignite life
in a rhythm of love.
Burn with another mouth the kiss that lied,
the one that until yesterday was mine.
That’s what I seek.

Heart, why cry,
heart, why suffer
if this life is a numbered wheel.
White ball is the love
that in an original jump
seeks a heart to wound and pierces it.
She placed in my yearning the fortune
of her hands and her laughter,
I placed my bets
and you see how I ended,
between glasses and embittered not to die.
