Lyrics
Suena tango compañero,
suena que quiero cantar,
porque esta noche la espero
y sé que no ha de llegar.
Y en esta copa de ajenjo
en vano pretendo mis penas ahogar.
Suena tango compañero,
suena que quiero llorar.

Pensar que la quise tanto
y embrujao por sus encantos
hoy perdí la dignidad.
Soy un borracho perdido
que en la copa del olvido
busca su felicidad.
Son caprichos del destino,
que lo quiso una mujer,
si está marcado mi sino
quién sabe si ha de volver...
¡Pero yo la esperaré!

Suena tango compañero,
como una recordación.
Si lloro porque la quiero,
son cosas del corazón.
Sirva otra copa de ajenjo
que a nadie le importa si quiero tomar.
Porque esta noche la espero
y sé que no ha de llegar.
English translation
Sounds tango partner,
sounds that I want to sing,
because tonight I'm waiting for her
and I know it won't come.
And in this glass of absinthe
in vain I try to drown my sorrows.
It sounds tango companion,
it sounds that I want to cry.

To think that I loved her so much
and bewitched by her charms
today I lost my dignity.
I am a lost drunkard
who in the cup of oblivion
seeks his happiness.
They are whims of destiny,
that a woman wanted it,
if my fate is marked
who knows if she will return...
But I will wait for her!

Sounds tango companion,
like a remembrance.
If I cry because I love her,
it's things of the heart.
Pour another glass of absinthe
that nobody cares if I want to drink.
Because tonight I wait for her
and I know she won't come.
