Lyrics

Español

Ojos negros y... soñadores de mis amores dueños ellos son. Ojos que encantan a mi alma y que dan dulce calma a mi fiel corazón. Cuando en su cristal me suelo mirar me causa placer, porque en ellos yo suelo adivinar su mucho querer. Nunca jamás podré olvidar la expresión arrobadora de tu faz. Como divinos luceros son tus ojos negros dignos de admirar, y por ellos yo me muero y en sus pestañas quiero poder siempre besar.

English · machine translation

Black eyes and... dreamers of my loves owners they are. Eyes that enchant my soul and that give sweet calm to my faithful heart. When in their crystal I look at myself it gives me pleasure because in them I I usually guess their much love. I can never ever I will never be able to forget the rapturous expression of your face. Like divine stars are your black eyes worthy of admiration, and for them I die and in their eyelashes I want to always be able to kiss.

The leader is Raúl Garello, 1980, with 40% of the 107 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

12 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.
