Cm
Con este tango que es burlón y compadrito
                                       G7
Se ató dos alas la ambición de mi suburbio;

Con este tango nació el tango, y como un grito
                                        Cm
Salió del sórdido barrial buscando el cielo;


[Verse 2]
           Cm
Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho cadencia
            C7                        Fm
Que abrió caminos sin más ley que la esperanza,
                                       Cm
Mezcla de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
                     G7                    Cm
Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo juguetón.


[Chorus]
          Bb7                 Eb
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
                   Bb7                      Eb
Nacieron, sin pensarlo, las paicas y las grelas,
          G7                         Cm
Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas
                                    G7
Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer...


[Verse 3]
              Cm
I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
                                             G
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying

And though I see the danger still the flame grows higher
                                         Cm
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire


[Verse 4]
             Cm
Just like a torch you set the soul within me burning
          C7                         Fm
I must go out along this road of no returning
                                             Cm
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
                 G                             Cm
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire


[Chorus]
           Bb                               Eb
I can't resist you what good is there is trying
(Por tu milagro de notas agoreras)
                     Bb                          Eb
What good is there denying you're all that I desire
(Nacieron, sin pensarlo, las paicas y las grelas)
              G7                                Cm
Since I first kissed you my heart was yours completely
(Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas)
           Ab                              G
If I'm a slave then it's a slave I want to be...
(Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer...)


[Bridge]
       Ab   G           Ab   G
Don't pity me... don't pity me...


[Verse 5]
              Cm
Give me your lips the lips you only let me borrow
          C7                            Fm
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
             Fm                                Cm
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
       G7                     Cm
It consumes me, your kiss of fire.
