Con este tango que es burlon y compadrito
se ato dos alas la ambicion de mi suburbio
Con este tango nacio el tango y como un grito
salio del sordido barrial buscando el cielo
Conjuro extrano de un amor hecho cadencia
que abrio caminos sin mas ley que su esperanza
mezcla de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo jugueton
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas y las grelas
luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas
y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer
I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire
Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning
I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas y las grelas
luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas
y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer
I can't resist you, what good is there in trying
What good is there denying you're all that I desire
Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
Don't pity me, don't pity me Don't pity me, don't pity me
Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
Though it consumes me, the kiss of fire
