These original transcriptions and translations are for understanding only and unless otherwise stated do not reflect the music and so not for singing purposes.
I have noticed that quite a few translations of tangos published translate the official registered lyrics rather than what is actually sung. And various orquestas tinkered liberally with the lyrics for their own version.
I have carefully listened to and transcribed the Spanish lyrics in these songs and translated them into English.
This is not meant to be a comprehensive list. Most of the songs are songs that I particularly like. Good singalongs. But some have been requests.
