Letra del Tango Una vez (2)

Morir en los rayos de sol
La niebla de un día sin luz.
Y luego en la tarde serena
Un gelo mi angustia y mi pena.

Soñaba aquella tarde con tus besos
Sentíame feliz con tu regreso.
Y al verte de nuevo ante mí
Cantaba en mis sueños así:
Una vez, sólo te vi una vez
Y te amé, sólo bastó una vez.
Hoy no sé si me faltará tu cariño
¡Ay de mí, que estoy solo sin ti!

Sólo tú me sabes comprender
Siempre tú, para poder vencer.
Nunca más, yo te lo juro vida mía
Nunca más podré vivir sin ti.

English lyrics of the Tango "Una vez (2)"

To die in the rays of the sun
The fog of a day without light.
And then in the serene evening
A frost my anguish and my sorrow.

That afternoon I dreamed of your kisses
I felt happy with your return.
And seeing you again before me
I sang in my dreams like this:
Once, I saw you just once
And I loved you, just once was enough.
Today I don’t know if I will lack your love
Oh, woe is me, I am alone without you!

Only you can understand me
Always you, to be able to overcome.
Never again, I swear to you my life
Never again will I be able to live without you.
