Verse 1
Buenos Aires after midnight rain
The cobblestones catch the neon’s flame
A stranger’s eyes across a crowded bar
Bandoneón crying like a distant star
Chorus
We tango in neon, you and I
Two silhouettes against the sky
The city watches, holds its breath
As we dance this dance to death
Verse 2
Your heels click secrets on the marble floor
Each step a story told a thousand times before
The Río de la Plata holds our reflection
Two strangers caught in a dark direction
Chorus
We tango in neon, you and I
Two silhouettes against the sky
The city watches, holds its breath
As we dance this dance to death
Bridge
(Instrumental break — bandoneón and electric guitar)
The smoke curls upward like a question mark
Your perfume lingers in the velvet dark
Final Verse
When morning comes, the neon starts to fade
But somewhere in a doorway, our shadows stayed
Two ghosts still tangoing in the rain
Buenos Aires won’t forget our name
