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
