When you're leaving me, if I let you go
Take away my heart as I won't need it anymore
Take away my nights, all my lonely nights
When you're ready to go
Just leave me the blue tango

Like a blue tango
As your eyes are blue
When you're ready to go
Remember how much I loved you
And let me go

Like a blue tango
I'll remember you
When you're ready to go
Just leave me with the blue tango

I was loving you, more than you will know
'Cause I needed you, my darling
You know it's true
But I don't know why I don't even cry
And my sister sorrow
Will teach me the blue tango

When you're ready to go
Remember to catch my shadow
And let me go
All my happiness
I must now borrow
In my loneliness
I'll always have the blue tango
