Lyrics
Español
Frente al mar, frente a Dios empapada de noche y de pena mi voz se estremece en el último adiós... Frente al mar, frente a Dios, yo te ruego que, al menos, me digas por qué me castigas... Frente a Dios, frente al mar, yo pregunto si acaso el delito fue dar, siempre dar, sin pedir más que amar... Ya no sé, qué pasó, yo no sé por qué fue que la luz del amor se apagó... Sólo sé que te vas y que el viento, en tu nombre, parece gritar: ¡Nunca más!
English · machine translation
In front of the sea, in front of God drenched with night and sorrow my voice trembles in the last goodbye... In front of the sea, in front of God, I beg you, at least, tell me why you punish me... In front of God, in front of the sea, I ask if perhaps the crime was to give, always giving, asking nothing more than to love... I don't know what happened, I don't know why it was that the light of love went out... I only know that you are leaving and that the wind, in your name seems to shout: Never again!

The leader is Aníbal Troilo, 1963, with 97% of the 66 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.
“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.
