Mad
Roxanne
You don't have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don't care if it's wrong or if it is right
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
You don't have to sell your body to the night
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand
(Roxanne) Why does my heart cry?
(Roxanne) Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me, but just don't deceive me
And please, believe me when I say I love you
Yo que te quiero tanto, qué voy ha hacer
Me dejaste, me dejaste en un tango
En el alma se me fue
Se me fue el corazon
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir
Porque no te puedo convencer
Que no te vendas Roxanne
Roxanne (Why does my heart cry?)
You don't have to put on that red light
Feelings I can't fight (You don't have to wear that dress tonight)
(Roxanne)
You don't have to put on that red light
Roxanne
You don't have to wear that dress tonight

The lyrics of Jacek Koman's El Tango De Roxanne are about a man named Roxanne who works as a prostitute. The singer of the song is in love with her and he pleads with her not to sell her body for money. He urges her to choose a different path in life and not to put herself in danger. He is clearly heartbroken, as he cannot understand why she chooses to do what she does, and it hurts him to see her with other men. He admits that he cannot change her, but he begs her not to deceive him and to believe that he loves her despite her choices.
The lyrics are sung in a passionate and dramatic way that captures the intensity of the emotions being expressed. The use of the tango as the musical accompaniment also adds to the intensity of the song, as the tango is a dance that often represents intense passion and emotion. The lyrics of the song suggest that the singer is filled with conflicting emotions; he loves Roxanne, but he is also hurt and angry that she chooses to sell herself.
Overall, the song is a powerful commentary on the lives of sex workers and the emotions that surround relationships with them. It highlights the complicated and often challenging aspects of these relationships and calls on the listener to consider the complex emotions that sex workers may experience.
