Letra del Tango Volver a vernos

Yo quise tanto, pero tanto
Que es un llanto, recordar…
¡Qué triste es recordar!
Volver a vernos era un sueño
¡Y no vendrás, yo sé que no vendrás!
Yo sé que todo, pero todo
De este modo terminó.
¡Si vieras cómo estoy!
Qué sólo, qué triste,
Qué cambio cruel, de ayer a hoy.

Volver a vernos y después
Hablar, hablar, de lo pasado.
Volver a vernos y después
Morir, morir, ¡Pero a tu lado!
Yo sé que vos no sabés
Que estoy así, con este amor,
Y este ayer que vive en mí.
Yo sé que vos no sabés
Que entre los dos,
Ronda fatal otro adiós.

Hoy como nunca, pero nunca
Llora trunca su ilusión,
Mi pobre corazón…
Volver a vernos era un sueño
¡Que me dejó!
Estoy llorando, recordando
Y apurando mi dolor…
¿Qué has hecho de mi pobre amor?
Te busco, te nombro
Porque no sé vivir sin vos.

English lyrics of the Tango "Volver a vernos"

I loved so much, oh so much
It’s a cry, to remember…
How sad it is to remember!
To see us again was a dream
And you won’t come, I know you won’t come!
I know that everything, oh every part
Ended this way.
If you could see how I am!
So alone, so sad,
What a cruel change, from yesterday to today.

To see us again and then
Talk, talk, about the past.
To see us again and then
Die, die, but at your side!
I know that you don’t know
That I’m like this, with this love,
And this past that lives in me.
I know that you don’t know
That between us,
A fatal goodbye hovers over.

Today like never, oh never
It weeps broken, its illusion,
My poor heart…
To see us again was a dream
That left me!
I’m crying, remembering
And hastening my pain…
What have you done to my poor love?
I search for you, I call your name
Because I don’t know how to live without you.
