Lyrics

Español

En esta noche de garufa yo me quiero divertir con los amigos de bohemia en el viejo Armenonville. La vida es corta y se pianta muy pronto, en esta noche hay que vivir. En las nostálgicas veladas vuelve el tiempo del ayer con este tango que nos lleva como un sueño a su compás. Viejos recuerdos, paicas papusas, dulce momento del ayer. Cómo me emocionan tus notas en esta velada porteña, deja que la música embriague para hacer, del tango una fiesta. Yo te soñé como nostalgia que vuelve, vida, en suaves noches de luna, de antes, son los recuerdos que añoro de la garufa que ya se fue. Viejo recuerdo tanguero quiero vivir esta emoción, besar tus labios rojos, muchacha diquera. Que se enciendan los faroles para alumbrar esta ilusión de ver tus ojos negros brillando por mi amor.

English · machine translation

In this night of garufa I want to have fun with bohemian friends in the old Armenonville. Life is short and it's coming to an end very soon, on this night you have to live. In the nostalgic evenings the time of yesterday returns with this tango that takes us like a dream to its rhythm. Old memories, paicas papusas, sweet moment of yesterday. How your notes thrill me in this porteña evening, let the music intoxicate to make tango a party. I dreamed of you like nostalgia that returns, life, in soft moonlit nights of yesteryear, are the memories I long for of the garufa that is already gone. Old tango memory I want to live this emotion, to kiss your red lips, diquera girl. Let the lanterns be lit to light up this illusion of seeing your black eyes shining for my love.

a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to

The leader is Ricardo Tanturi, 1941, with 99% of the 200 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

15 more dances name this song but not which version, so no share counts them. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.

Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.
