Tango
Vos sos el alma porteña
Vos sos la tierna
Expresión de su cantar
Tango
Vos sos el dulce acento
Sosel lamento
Que expresa a la mina, el amor del bacán
Sontus notas lastimeras
Remembranzas de pasiones
Quejido de corazones
Angustiados de dolor
Sos la espina de la flor
Que hiere y mata al pobre amante
Sos la mirada del hombre, de la china sin amor
Alegran en sus acordes si es un tango compadrón
Y olvidan al instante las penas del corazón
Vuelve la fe perdida, la esperanza, lailusión
Y endulzan esta vida con su ritmo y consu son
¡Bendito seas tango que hacés sufrir y llorar!
¡Bendito seas tango, que hacésreír, hacés cantar!
Tan grande es tu poder, tan sugestivo y dominante
Que donde vayas, triunfante has de imperar
