Letra del Tango Todo corazón

¡Por qué traicionas el cariño
que me juró tu labio abrasador!
¡Por qué te olvidas del abrazo
que yo te di, cautiva de tu amor!
¿Por qué me dejas triste y sola,
mientras las horas burlan mi aflicción?
¿No vez que muero con tu ausencia
porque yo soy todo corazón?

Pero sigue en tus locas ilusiones
Que, muy pronto, rendido al desengaño
volverás, como el ave vuelve al nido,
volverás al amor que has profanado.
Yo te aguardo sin odios ni rencores,
con la franca sonrisa de mis labios,
porque es tu vida mi adoración,
porque yo soy todo corazón.

Es este el himno de ternura
que entonaremos juntos al amor:
triunfante yo con mis desvelos,
sediento tú con ansias y amargor.
Y entonces quiero que me digas,
al recordar la vida que murió,
por qué, después de larga ausencia,
buscas abrigo en mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Todo corazón"

Why do you betray the affection
that your burning lips once swore to me?
Why do you forget the embrace
that I gave you, captured by your love?
Why do you leave me sad and alone,
while the hours mock my grief?
Don’t you see that I’m dying with your absence
because I am all heart?

But continue in your wild illusions
That, very soon, defeated by disillusionment,
you’ll return, like the bird returns to the nest,
you’ll return to the love you’ve desecrated.
I wait for you without hate or grudges,
with the honest smile on my lips,
because your life is my adoration,
because I am all heart.

This is the hymn of tenderness
that we will sing together to love:
victorious I with my sleepless care,
you thirsty with yearning and bitterness.
And then I want you to tell me,
remembering the life that died,
why, after a long absence,
you seek shelter in my heart.
