Letra del Tango Un desolado corazón

La dejé que se marchara, sin pensar
Que su ausencia me traería este dolor,
Ilusiones, esperanzas
Todo ha muerto por mi culpa y desamor.

Y sus lágrimas de amor que no entendí,
Y las súplicas que nunca profirió,
Hoy me cuentan su martirio
Hoy que todo para mí, murió.

Qué lejos de mi beso
Dormirá tu frente.
Qué carga tan inmensa
Sobre mi conciencia.

Y te llamo, nuevamente
Y te busco, entre la gente,
Que me mira, indiferente
Qué le importa mi sufrir.

Señor, yo te lo ruego,
Dile que no puedo
Sin su amor, vivir…

Yo no supe que era enorme mi querer
Hasta el día que llorando se marchó,
Ilusiones, esperanzas
Para siempre, detrás de sus pasos se llevó.

Y esas lágrimas de amor que no entendí,
Y las súplicas que nunca profirió,
Hoy me gritan lo perdido
Porque todo para mí, murió.

English lyrics of the Tango "Un desolado corazón"

I let her go without thinking
That her absence would bring me this pain,
Illusions, hopes
All have died by my fault and lack of love.

And her tears of love that I didn’t understand,
And the pleas she never uttered,
Today they tell me of her suffering
Today that everything for me, died.

How far from my kiss
Will your forehead sleep.
What a heavy burden
Upon my conscience.

And I call you, once again
And I search for you, among the people,
Who look at me, indifferent
What do they care about my suffering.

Lord, I beg you,
Tell her I can’t
Live without her love…

I didn’t know how great my love was
Until the day she left crying,
Illusions, hopes
Forever, she took behind her steps.

And those tears of love I didn’t understand,
And the pleas she never uttered,
Today shout what is lost
Because everything for me, died.
