Текст и перевод песни Rocío Dúrcal - Aquel tango maldito

Aquel tango maldito

En un bazar feliz yo trabajaba
Nunca senti deseos de bailar,
Hasta que un joven que me enamoraba
Llevame un dia con elpara tanguear.
Fue mi obsesion el tango de aquel dia
En que mi alma con ansia se rindio,
Pues al bailar senti en mi corazon
Que una dulce ilusion nacio

Era tan suave la armonia
De aquella extraña melodía
Que lleno de gozo sentia
Mi corazon soñar.
Igual que en pos de una esperanza,
Que al lograrla todo se alcanza,
Giraba loca en esa danza
Que me enseñaba a amar.

La culpa fue de aquel maldito tango
Que mi galan enseñame a bailar
Y que después, hundiendome en el fango,
Me dio a entender que me iba a abandonar.
Mi corazon, de pena dolorido,
Consuelo y calma busco en el cabaret,
Mas al bailar senti en el corazon
Que aquella mi ilusion, se fue.

Oyendo aquella melod? a
Mi alma de pena mor? a
Y lleno de dolor sent? a
Mi coraz? n sangrar...
Como esa m? sica domina
Con su cadencia que fascina,
Fui entonces a la coca? na
Mi consuelo a buscar.

Hoy que ya soy espectro del pasado
Pido al ajenjo la fuerza de olvidar
Mas a mi pobre pecho destrozado
Nada hay que pueda su angustia sofocar.
Del cabaret soy una triste mueca,
Ya nadie el tango conmigo m? s bail?
Y aquel amor pas? como visi? n.
Y aquella mi ilusi? n muri?.

Maldito tango que envenena
Con su dulzura cuando suena,
Maldito tango que me llena
De tan acerba hiel.
El fue la causa de mi ruina,
Maldito tango que fascina...
? Oh tango que mata y domina!
? Maldito sea el tango aquel!

That Cursed Tango

I used to work at a happy shop
Never felt like dancing before
Until a man I fell for
Took me to a dance the other day.
I became obsessed with the tango that day,
And my heart yearned for more.
When we danced, I felt it in my heart,
A sweet dream was born.

The melody was ever so gentle,
That strange tune,
Filled me with such joy,
Setting my heart alight with dreams.
Like the hope of a dream come true,
Where everything's possible,
I spun madly in the dance
That taught me how to love.

It was all that blasted tango's fault,
That my lover taught me to dance
And then, throwing me into the gutter,
Made it clear he was going to leave me.
My heart, aching with pain,
Searched for comfort and peace in the cabaret,
But when I danced, I felt it in my heart
That my dream had died.

Listening to that melody,
My soul was dying of grief,
And with every note of pain,
My heart bled...
How that music ruled,
With its captivating rhythm,
I then turned to cocaine
To seek solace.

Now I'm but a ghost of my former self,
Begging absinthe to forget my pain,
But to my shattered heart,
Nothing can ease its anguish.
I'm a sad clown in the cabaret,
No one will dance the tango with me anymore,
And that love has faded like a vision,
And my dream has died.

Cursed tango, your poison seeps,
Your sweetness a wicked tease,
Cursed tango, you fill me up,
With such bitter sorrow.
You were the cause of my ruin,
Cursed tango, you beguile...
Oh tango, you kill and command!
May that cursed tango be damned!
