Letra del Tango Una lágrima tuya

Una lágrima tuya
me moja el alma,
mientras rueda la luna
por la montaña.

Yo no sé si has llorado
sobre un pañuelo
nombrándome,
nombrándome,
con desconsuelo.

La voz triste y sentida
de tu canción,
desde otra vida
me dice adiós.

La voz de tu canción
que en el temblor de las campanas
me hace evocar el cielo azul
de tus mañanas llenas de sol.

Una lágrima tuya
me moja el alma
mientras gimen
las cuerdas de mi guitarra.

Ya no cantan mis labios
junto a tu pelo,
diciéndote,
diciéndote,
lo que te quiero.

Tal vez con este canto
puedas saber
que de tu llanto
no me olvidé,
no me olvidé.

English lyrics of the Tango "Una lágrima tuya"

A tear of yours
soaks my soul,
as the moon rolls
over the mountain.

I don’t know if you’ve cried
onto a handkerchief
calling my name,
calling my name,
in despair.

The sad and heartfelt voice
of your song
from another life
bids me farewell.

The voice of your song,
in the tremor of the bells,
makes me evoke the blue sky
of your sun-filled mornings.

A tear of yours
soaks my soul
while the strings
of my guitar weep.

My lips no longer sing
against your hair,
telling you,
telling you,
how much I love you.

Maybe with this song,
you can know
I’ve not forgotten
your tears,
I’ve not forgotten.
