Letra del Tango Un tango para La Falda

El asunto está bien claro,
vos estás en tu derecho,
fuiste buena y yo no supe
responder a tu bondad.
Sin embargo, todavía
se me arruga todo el pecho
porque veo que de veras,
que de veras te me vas.

Con mis ojos estoy viendo
que has armado el bagayito,
y si no es que llego a tiempo
no te escucho ni el adiós.
Mas como hombre te lo pido,
aguantate otro cachito.
Voy a hablarte de estas cosas
que sabemos vos y yo.

Yo no niego que soy algo calavera,
que desprecio por la calle
los encantos del hogar.
Que me juego todo el vento a las careras
y he dejado de ser bueno
desde mucho tiempo atrás.
Pero quiero
que vos sepas pa’l futuro
que he resuelto conducirme
como un hombre de verdad.
Volverás a ser feliz, te lo aseguro,
si a mi lado te quedas.

Ayer tarde conversando
con mi vieja, justamente,
le juré que viviría
para ella y para vos.
Te autorizo a preguntarle,
mi viejita nunca miente,
ya ves que ella te quiere
casi tanto como yo.

Desatá ese bagayito,
ya buen susto me has pegado,
no digás una palabra,
dame tiempo y esperá…
Si después de un par de meses
vos notás que no he cambiado,
una tarde como esta
sin decirme adiós, te vas.

English lyrics of the Tango "Un tango para La Falda"

The issue is crystal clear,
you’re entirely in your right,
you were good and I failed
to respond to your kindness.
However, still
my whole chest crumples
because I see that truly,
you’re truly leaving me.

With my own eyes, I am seeing
that you’ve packed your little bag,
and if I hadn’t arrived just in time,
I wouldn’t even hear your goodbye.
But as a man, I ask you,
hold on just a little longer.
I’m going to talk about these things
that you and I know.

I won’t deny that I’m somewhat a rascal,
that I scorn the charms of home
in the streets.
That I gamble all my cash on the races
and I’ve ceased being good
long ago.
But I want
you to know for the future
that I’ve decided to behave
like a real man.
You’ll be happy again, I assure you,
if you stay by my side.

Just yesterday,
talking with my mother,
I swore that I’d live
for her and for you.
You can ask her,
my little mother never lies,
see, she loves you
almost as much as I do.

Untie that little bag,
you have really scared me,
don’t say a word,
give me time and wait…
If after a couple of months
you see I haven’t changed,
one evening like this
without saying goodbye, you’ll leave.
