EL TANGO ES EL TANGO lyrics

LYRICS: J. Iglesias
MUSIC: A. Gatti

Peinando plata en el coco
hablas del tango malevo
como diciendo que el nuevo
pa vos no vale un piropo
y yo porteño de ahora
de acuerdo a mi sentimiento
voy a cantar como siento
al tango en mi corazón

El tango es el tango
no hay vuelta que darle
con cuello o pañuelo
lo mismo es gotan
el traje no dice
la estirpe del rango
ni el gesto guarango
pinta de arrabal.

El tango es el tango
por más que le pongan
ribetes compadres
o cintas de amor
El tango es el tango
si tiene milonga
no importa que sea
de ayer o de hoy.

Quote of the Day

The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina. -Yo-Yo Ma
