Letra del Tango Unica

¡Única tú,
en mi existencia al fin,
golpeada por mil vientos!
¡Única tú,
porque supiste ser
canción y rosa y beso!

¡Única tú,
por tu resignación,
por tu honda fe en mi amor y en mí!
Porque no sé olvidar
que en el instante gris
me amaste más y más.

¡Única tú,
pequeña y tibia hoy,
graciosa y tibia siempre!
Dulce rumor,
con aires de la flor,
que a mi me gusta más.

¡Única tú,
aquí en mi corazón,
que sólo en ti logró la sed calmar!
¡Única tú,
aquí en mi corazón
y para siempre o más!

English lyrics of the Tango "Unica"

Only you,
at last, in my life,
beaten by a thousand winds!
Only you,
because you knew how to be
song and rose and kiss!

Only you,
for your resignation,
for your deep faith in my love and me!
Because I cannot forget
that in the grey moment,
you loved me more and more.

Only you,
small and warm today,
graceful and warm always!
Sweet murmur,
with airs of the flower,
that I like the most.

Only you,
here in my heart
where only you could quench the thirst!
Only you,
here in my heart
and for always or more!
