Tango Lyrics in Spanish and
English
CUANDO NO SE QUIERE MAS
When one does not love anymore
When a couple of friends in tango hit the skids and end up going in separate ways, it can be really demanding an distressing to be faced with the uncomfortable decision of having to juggle loyalties, friendships and allegiances. Sometimes the choice is easy.
She was disingenuous when she asked for and then ignored good advice about the perils of going to Buenos Aires alone exposing herself to 24/7 sexual harassment in exchange for a few sweaty dances with strangers. She laughed at the suggestion that tango in Buenos Aires is not Disneyland for overgrown children but the ultimate experience for couples in a committed relationship.
We feel very sorry about the way the husband left behind, eventually found out about her cheating ways. He has been treated badly and forced into making choices for which he had no desire to make at this stage of his life.
We begun this wonderful friendship because of tango, and tango was the element that bonded our friendship. Since he shared the bad news there is a tango that plays endlessly in my mind, haunting me and keeping me from falling asleep.
What's the human thing to do when when one doesn't love anymore?"
No te vayas así cobardemente,
bajando la cabeza, sin una explicación,
por lo menos mirame frente a frente,
mirándome a los ojos, desnudo el corazón.
Todo ha terminado entre los dos,
y no podes seguir aquí a mi lado,
porque ya no me querés,
por lo menos decilo francamente,
como yo lo diría, como se debe hacer.
II
Cuando no se quiere mas,
cuando se termina todo,
no se huye de ese modo
tan cobarde, tan brutal.
No es mas lindo con el alma,
en la palma de la mano,
ser un poco mas humano,
cuando no se quiere mas.
No pretendo que sigas a mi lado
mintiéndome un cariño que ya no lo sentís,
yo tampoco quisiera estar atado,
sabiendo que en tus brazos no puedo ser feliz.

Cuando no se quiere mas,
cuando se termina todo,
no se huye de ese modo
tan cobarde, tan brutal.
No es mas lindo con el alma,
en la palma de la mano,
ser un poco mas humano,
cuando no se quiere mas.
bajando la cabeza, sin una explicación,
por lo menos mirame frente a frente,
mirándome a los ojos, desnudo el corazón.
Todo ha terminado entre los dos,
y no podes seguir aquí a mi lado,
porque ya no me querés,
por lo menos decilo francamente,
como yo lo diría, como se debe hacer.

Don't leave that way so cowardly,
with your head down, without an explanation,
at least look at me face to face
look me in the eyes, exposing your heart
It's all over between us,
and you can't be here by my side,
because you no longer love me,
at least be frank and say it,
the way I'd say, the way it ought to be.
II
When one doesn't love anymore,
when everything is over,
One doesn't flee in such a way
so coward, so brutal.
Isn't nicer, bearing the soul
on the palm of your hand,
to be a little more human
when one doesn't love anymore.
I don't pretend that continue at my side
lying to me an affection that you no longer feel,
I don't want to be tie up either,
knowing that in your arms I can't be happy.
