Lyrics

Spanish
English

A mi me gusta el tango, pero el tango,
aquel que fue tildado de guarango;
que entró a copar la banca a los lanceros
con su alma de arrabal y su pañuelo...

A mi me gusta el tango, pero el tango
que, pese a que era huraño y era guapo,
sabía con acento sensiblero
entrar al corazón de las parejas de ayer.

Tango como ese del tiempo de antes,
medio sencillo, medio compadre,
con sus desplantes, como era el tango
cuando era tango con otro traje...
Tango como ese del tiempo de antes,
agua florida, luz de puñales,
tango que añoran los arrabales;
tango de un tiempo que dio que hablar...
A mi me gusta el tango, pero el tango
que me hable de arrabal y de fandango,
el tango de pañuelo y alpargata
que selle cada corte con su marca.
A mi me gusta el tango, pero el tango
que tenga cara triste y gesto guapo;
y apriete en la cintura de las mozas
la mano del varón, como un reclamo de amor.

I like tango, but the tango,
the one that was branded as guarango;
that came to fill the lanceros' bench
with his soul of the outskirts and his handkerchief...

I like the tango, but the tango
that, in spite of being sullen and handsome,
knew how to enter the hearts of yesterday's couples
to enter the hearts of yesterday's couples.

Tango like that of the time of yesteryear,
half simple, half compadre,
with its rudeness, as tango used to be
when it was tango with a different costume...
Tango like that of the time before,
flowery water, light of daggers,
tango that the suburbs yearn for;
tango of a time that made people talk...
I like the tango, but the tango
that speaks to me of arrabal and fandango,
the tango of handkerchief and espadrilles
that seals each cut with its mark.
I like the tango, but the tango
that has a sad face and a handsome gesture;
and that squeezes the waist of the wenches
the man's hand, like a call for love.
