Hi, It's a rather uncommon phrase. It means the action came 'out of' or 'from' love'. It was 'caused by' love.

Hi Philip,

Isn't this better? .... Argentine tango ...

Yes, it's a better translation, and it's what we commonly say to each other in the tango milieu, but Discépolo was a poet so I thought tango argentino added a certain poetic quality to the quote. The phrase is used, occasionally.
