Lyrics

Español

La escarcha de los años ya blanqueaban mis cabellos El día en que a mi vida le pusiste un nuevo sol, Bailabas a mi lado coqueteando alegremente Eras la muñequita más hermosa del salón. No sé qué dulce encanto sorprendí en tu mirada Y una emoción sublime embargó todo mi ser, Y me puse a tu lado para tenerte cerquita Cuando iba a bailarse la “ronda del querer”. Y a la “ronda del querer” A tu lado fui a formar, Y al instante comprendí Que me iba a enamorar. Cuando la mano te dí Y apretaste con fervor, Enseguida yo sentí aflojar Mi corazón.

English · machine translation

The frost of the years already bleached my hair white. The day you gave my life a new sun, You danced beside me flirting merrily. You were the most beautiful doll in the room. I don't know what sweet charm I caught in your gaze And a sublime emotion overwhelmed my whole being, And I stood by your side to hold you close. When the "round of love" was to be danced. And to the "ronda del querer" (round of love) At your side I went to form, And instantly I understood That I was going to fall in love. When I gave you my hand And you squeezed it fervently, I immediately felt my heart My heart.
