Mi Tango Triste
Roberto Goyeneche
My Sad Tango
I tortured myself without you and then I looked for you
Through the paths of memory
And in the furthest past you were agitated to return
And to free yourself from that hell
And your life without love crawled to me
With its pain and its silence
And we disguised a past that fought to want
To return
And it was you
Who cheered up my loneliness
Who turned into madness
My passion and my tenderness
And into horror my gentle hours
You
My sad tango it was you
And no one exists more than you
In my destiny
And today
You have stepped aside on my path
And it's too late now
To cry back and hold back the anguish
That hurts much more
The light tore apart and my voice fell silent
That night without words
Seeing that your soul was absent and by your side always me
Like an abandoned thing
And the shadow of another love crawled to you
And another voice calling you
And you plunged me into a past that fought to want
To return
