Letra del Tango Tuve que llorar

Hoy que triunfás, en tu vida se ha elevado

dominador y prepotente,

y fue el amor el que causó la corriente

de tu vivir desordenado,

quisiera creer en la verdad de tu resurgimiento

y que el amor te elevará, sólo para tu bien.



Pero dicen que estás triste,

que te han visto condolida

que la orgía y el placer

te incitan a volver de nuevo a aquel lugar,

donde el arrullo de un tango arrabalero,

te dice traicionero una pasión fingida,

mientras se escucha que dulce e insinuante

un bacán elegante te miente su querer.



Así pasás y naciste para el cielo

te debes dar por derrotada.

Como al final se convierte en correntada,

el arroyito manso y bueno.

Tu río al fin encontrarás, dulce y cariñosa,

en tus brazos con emoción, ¡pobre!, se entregará.



Y al final de la jornada,

cara a cara con la vida,

consultando al corazón

verás que la ilusión solita te dejó.

Y del pasado borroso y penitente

te dejará la gente una íntima congoja,

que en una lágrima amarga y delatora

te llevará a cada hora trozos del corazón…

English lyrics of the Tango "Tuve que llorar"

Now that you triumph, in your life you have emerged
domineering and powerful,
and it was love that caused the current
of your disordered living,
I would like to believe in the truth of your revival
and that love will lift you up, solely for your benefit.

But they say you’re sad,
that they’ve seen you grieving,
that the orgy and pleasure
tempt you to return again to that place,
where the cooing of a suburban tango,
betrayingly tells of a feigned passion,
while it’s heard that sweet and suggestive
a dashing man lies about his love.

Thus you pass, and you were born for heaven
you must consider yourself defeated.
As in the end, it turns into a torrent,
the gentle and good little stream.
Your river at last you will find, sweet and caring,
in your arms with emotion, poor thing, she will surrender.

And at the end of the journey,
face to face with life,
consulting the heart
you will see that the illusion left you alone.
And from the blurry and penitent past
people will leave you an intimate sorrow,
that in a bitter and revealing tear
will take away pieces of the heart every hour…
