Lyrics

Español

El vals se escucha nervioso y ondulante De nuevo el carnaval nos une como ayer, Su calido vaivén salgamos a bailar Desconocida de negro antifaz. Alegremente giremos al azar No sé quién eres tú, ¡Oh, máscara fugaz!, Tan sólo, sólo sé, al verte así brillar Que eres un ángel que luce un disfraz. Mascarita, que bailás Y en mis brazos te apretás, Sé que eres bonita aunque tu carita cubras con el antifaz. Mascarita del salón, Que en mis brazos suspirás, Qué pasión provoca tu graciosa y loca boca bermellón.

English · machine translation

The waltz is heard nervous and undulating Again the carnival unites us like yesterday, Its warm swaying, let's go out to dance. Unknown in a black mask. Joyfully let's turn at random I don't know who you are, O fleeting mask, I only know, I only know, seeing you thus shine That you are an angel wearing a disguise. Little mask, you dance And in my arms you cling, I know you're pretty even though you cover your little face with a mask. Little mask of the ballroom, That in my arms you sigh, What passion your funny and crazy vermilion mouth provokes.
