Lyrics

Español

¡Amor, la vida se nos va, quedémonos aquí, ya es hora de llegar! ¡Amor, quedémonos aquí! ¿Por qué sin compasión rodar? ¡Amor, la flor se ha vuelto a abrir y hay gusto a soledad, quedémonos aquí! Nuestro cansancio es un poema sin final que aquí podemos terminar. ¡Abre tu vida sin ventanas! ¡Mira lo lindo que está el río! Se despierta la mañana y tengo ganas de juntarte un ramillete de rocío. ¡Basta de noches y de olvidos, basta de alcohol sin esperanzas, deja todo lo que ha sido desangrarse en ese ayer sin fe! Tal vez de tanto usar el gris te ciegues con el sol... ¡pero eso tiene fin! ¡Después verás todo el color, amor, quedémonos aquí! ¡Amor, asómate a la flor y entiende la verdad que llaman corazón! ¡Deja el pasado acobardado en el fangal que aquí podemos comenzar!

English · machine translation

Love, life is passing us by, let's stay here, it's time to arrive! Love, let's stay here! Why mercilessly roll away? Love, the flower has opened again and there's a taste of loneliness, let's stay here! Our weariness is a poem without an end that we can end here. Open your windowless life! Look how beautiful the river is! The morning wakes up and I feel like to gather you a bouquet of dew. Enough of nights and forgetfulness, no more hopeless alcohol, let all that has been bleed out in that faithless yesterday! Perhaps from wearing so much gray you'll be blinded by the sun... but there's an end to that! Then you'll see all the color, love, let's stay here! Love, hold on to the flower and understand the truth they call heart! Leave the past cowering in the mire that here we can begin!

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

The leader is José Basso, 1957, with 66% of the 90 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

67 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.
