Apretao a tu gemir
Que es dolor de mi ciudad.
¡yo amparé mi desconsuelo!
¡fuiste en mi vida canción,
Y en mi charco, cielo!
Acosao por el vivir,
Yo, al rezar en tu emoción
El dolor de mil traiciones,
Busqué en la fe de tu abrazo el valor,
Pa' no dejarme morir.
Melodia porteña,
Secreto de amor...
Que la voz no se atreve
A contárselo a dios...
Yo te he dado en pedazos
La fe de mi vida...
Y escondí en tu guarida
Mi llanto de amor...
¡melodía porteña,
Canción que nació
De tu dolor...
Y mi dolor...!
Grito inmenso de pasión
Que la vida sofocó
Sin perdón entre sus manos...
Compás que late en las sienes,
Y es alma... ¡tango!
Fondo oscuro del vivir
Donde se echan a llorar,
Despeñándose, los sueños...
¡regazo del que en pedazos se dio,
Sin esperanza de amor!
