At milongas, you may feel as though you are intruding upon a very personal moment, as your gaze becomes spellbound, watching a man and a woman... embraced in each others arms, her eyes closed, drifting in harmony to the haunting sensuous pulses of the tango music... their lips, whispering its words for only their ears, as if lost in time, their hearts have become the authors of this poetry of love.

The poetry of Argentine Tango is an intimate transcendent attesting to its timelessness. TangoGigolo enlivens the words of traditional tangos for non-Spanish speakers. Liberties have been taken such as changing any gender specific third person to the English gender neutral second person. The translations come from personal translations, friends, both native and non-native speakers of Argentine Spanish, and internet sources. Many tangos contain Lunfardo, a period slang, specific to the various barrios of Buenos Aires, whose usage and meanings today are somewhat elusive or forgotten, even among native speakers. Therefore, the intent is not to provide expressly accurate academic translations, but a flavor for the period, its culture, and a feel for the daily lives of these tangueros and tangueras as expressed through the Tangos.
