The Tango Is The Tango (feat. Alberto Castillo)

El Tango Es El Tango (part. Alberto Castillo)

Combing silver in the hairPeinando plata en el jopo
You talk about tango, tough guyHablás del tango, malevo
As if saying that beggingCómo diciendo que ruego
Love is not worth a complimentAmor no vale un piropo
And I, a Buenos Aires native nowY yo porteño de ahora
According to my feelingsDe acuerdo a mi sentimiento
I'm going to sing how I feelVoy a cantar como siento
The tango in my heartEl tango en mi corazón

The tango is the tangoEl tango es el tango
There's no way around itNo hay vuelta que darle
With a handkerchief around the neckCon cuello pañuelo
It's still the same old tangoLo mismo es gotan

The suit says it allEl traje lo dice
The lineage of the rankLa estirpe del rango
And the bold lyricsY el testo guarango
Sad the suburbTriste el arrabal

The tango is the tangoEl tango es el tango
No matter how much they dress it upPor más que le pongan
With cowboy trimsRibetes compadres
Or love ribbonsO cintas de amor

The tango is the tangoEl tango es el tango
If it has a milongaSi tiene milonga

It doesn't matter if it'sNo importa que sea
From yesterday or todayDe ayer o de hoy
