Lyrics
Tus noches, Atenas, me hablan de amor,
cual una bella canción.
Tu hermosa luna,
con su fulgor,
acompaña mi dolor...

Fue una noche de mi Argentina,
noche divina, de ilusión.
Ella juró que me quería,
yo no pensé que mentía...
Le di en un beso, todo mi alma
y traicionó mi corazón.
Hoy son tus noche, Atenas,
que me recuerdan su amor.

Tus noches, Atenas, me hablan de amor,
cual una bella canción.
Tu hermosa luna,
con su fulgor,
acompaña mi dolor.

Y así una noche de mi Argentina,
noche divina, de ilusión,
bajo un rosal, yo esperaba
a la que tanto adoraba.
Corrió una estrella... pedí que vuelva...
¡Pero ella nunca más volvió!
Hoy son tus noches, Atenas,
que me recuerdan su amor.
English translation
Your nights, Athens, speak to me of love,
like a beautiful song.
Your beautiful moon
with its radiance,
accompanies my pain...

It was a night of my Argentina,
a divine night of illusion.
She swore she loved me,
I didn't think she was lying...
I gave her in a kiss, all my soul
and she betrayed my heart.
Today are your nights, Athens,
that remind me of your love.

Your nights, Athens, speak to me of love,
like a beautiful song.
Your beautiful moon
with its glow,
accompanies my pain.

And so one night of my Argentina,
divine night of illusion,
under a rose bush, I was waiting
the one I adored so much.
A star ran... I asked for her to come back...
But she never came back!
Today are your nights, Athens
that remind me of your love.
