We've caught your eye across the milonga. Like any good tango, this starts with consent — nothing optional runs until you say so.Cookies only with your yes. What we store.

Lyrics

Español

No pretendo remover las cenizas del ayer, de ese ayer inolvidable... Sólo quiero hacerte ver que aunque no lo quieras creer hay amores imborrables... Después de tanto, vuelvo a hallarte, ¡y qué emoción siento al mirarte! Hay un loco palpitar en mi viejo corazón y es que al fin te vuelvo a hallar... Pocas palabras, ¡vieja amiga!... Pocas palabras es mejor... Ya ves... el mundo sigue igual sin nuestra unión sentimental... Pocas palabras de lo de antes... No conversemos más de amor, de aquel amor que ya pasó, pero que aun no murió... No me duele confesar que jamás pude borrar el romance que vivimos... Y que atado a tu querer he llegado hasta beber pa’ olvidarte con el vino... Y en este encuentro memorable ¿cuál de los dos es el culpable?... El culpable he sido yo, el culpable de soñar, ser el dueño de tu amor…

English · machine translation

I do not intend to stir the ashes of yesterday, of that unforgettable yesterday... I just want to make you see that even if you don't want to believe it there are indelible loves... After so long, I find you again, and what a thrill I feel when I look at you! There is a crazy palpitation in my old heart and it's that I finally find you again... Few words, old friend!... Few words is better... You see... the world remains the same without our sentimental sentimental union... Few words about before... Let's not talk about love anymore, of that love that has already passed, but which has not yet not yet dead... It doesn't hurt me to confess that I could never erase the romance we lived... And that tied to your love I've even gone so far as to drink to forget you with wine... And in this memorable encounter which of us is to blame?... The guilty one has been me, the guilty of dreaming, to be the owner of your love...
