Letra del Tango Un tango argentino

Se escucha un tango argentino
En la voz del bandoneón,
Que canta en su melodía
A mi pueblo y su emoción.

Así es el tango argentino
Sencillito y querendón,
Que en el vaivén de su danza
Va ganando el corazón.

Tango, tango porteño
Frase dulce en el oído,
Confidente y buen amigo
Cuando se tiene un dolor.

Tango, tango argentino
El abrazo de tu danza,
Va trayendo la esperanza
Cuando se pena de amor.

Mi Buenos Aires amado
Cuando esté lejos de vos,
Pido que un tango argentino
Me acompañe con su adiós.

English lyrics of the Tango "Un tango argentino"

An Argentine tango is heard
In the voice of the bandoneón,
Singing in its melody
Of my people and their emotion.

Such is the Argentine tango
Simple and affectionate,
That in the sway of its dance
Wins over the heart.

Tango, tango from Buenos Aires
Sweet phrase in the ear,
Confidant and good friend
When there is pain.

Tango, Argentine tango
The embrace of your dance,
Brings hope
When one suffers from love.

My beloved Buenos Aires
When I’m far from you,
I ask that an Argentine tango
Accompanies me with its farewell.
