Lyrics
Español
Callejón... callejón... lejano... lejano... íbamos perdidos de la mano bajo un cielo de verano soñando en vano... Un farol... un portón... -igual que en un tango- y los dos perdidos de la mano bajo el cielo de verano que partió... Déjame que llore crudamente con el llanto viejo adiós... adonde el callejón se pierde brotó ese yuyo verde del perdón... Déjame que llore y te recuerde -trenzas que me anudan al portón- De tu país ya no se vuelve ni con el yuyo verde del perdón... ¿Dónde estás?... ¿Dónde estás?... ¿Adónde te has ido?... ¿Dónde están las plumas de mi nido, la emoción de haber vivido y aquel cariño?... Un farol... un portón... -igual que un tango- y este llanto mío entre mis manos y ese cielo de verano que partió…
English · machine translation
Alley... alley... alley... far... far... far away... we were lost hand in hand under a summer sky dreaming in vain... A street lamp... a gate... -just like in a tango- and the two of us lost hand in hand under the summer sky that departed... Let me cry crudely with the old weeping goodbye... where the alley is lost sprouted that green weed of forgiveness... Let me cry and remember you -braids that knot me to the gate- From your country you can't return not even with the green weed of forgiveness... Where are you? Where are you? Where are you? Where have you gone? Where are the feathers of my nest? the emotion of having lived and that affection? A lantern... a gate... -just like a tango- and this cry of mine between my hands and that summer sky that departed...

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.
