Letra del Tango Un tango y nada mas

Un tango más, un gorrión de barrio viejo
llega moliendo su cruel desilusión.
Rodando van los recuerdos de mi vida,
mi vida gris que no tiene ya canción.
Dónde estarán los que fueron compañeros,
mi amor primero de un claro anochecer,
y ese silbido llamando de la esquina
hacia el calor de aquel viejo café.

Quién sabe dónde está
lo que perdí, loco de afán.
Del tiempo que pasó
sólo quedó un tango más.
Tan sólo un tango más que trae
fracaso de no ser,
cansancio de mi andar.
La vida que al rodar, sólo dejó,
un tango y nada más.

Un tango más, un gorrión de barrio viejo
tiembla en la sombra doliente del ayer.
Un tango más, y el juguete de la luna
vuelve a mentir en el triste anochecer.
Mi juventud la quemé en la cruz viajera
en la quimera de andar, siempre de andar.
Buscan mis ansias calor de primavera
y sólo hay un tango y nada más.

English lyrics of the Tango "Un tango y nada mas"

One more tango, a sparrow from the old neighborhood
arrives grinding its cruel disillusion.
Memories of my life go rolling by,
my gray life that has no song anymore.
Where might they be, those who were companions,
my first love on a clear evening,
and that whistle calling from the corner
toward the warmth of that old café.

Who knows where it is,
what I lost, crazy with eagerness.
From the time that passed
only one more tango remained.
Just one more tango that brings
the failure of not being,
the weariness of my walking.
Life that as it rolls, only left
a tango and nothing more.

One more tango, a sparrow from the old neighborhood
trembles in the aching shadow of yesterday.
One more tango, and the toy of the moon
returns to deceive in the sad evening.
My youth I burned on the traveling cross,
in the illusion of wandering, always wandering.
My longings seek the warmth of spring
and there’s only a tango and nothing more.
