Lyrics

Español

En la evocación vuelve a soñar mi corazón, y el sueño eres tú, Marión... Amor de mi juventud que no se olvida. Amor que llena de luz toda mi vida. Sombras del ayer, con su tristeza de canción siempre me dirán: Marión... Marión, sé que a tu lado fui feliz cuando te di mi corazón en el viejo París. Recuerdo la angustia del adiós y el cielo llorando por los dos... Marión, amor lejano que dejé, quiero que sepas, corazón, que jamás te olvidé. Sueño de París que se enredó con la emoción de tu amor sin fin, Marión... Hoy sólo queda el albor de tu fragancia y el perfumado rumor de la distancia. Sombras del ayer, con tono gris de evocación siempre me dirán: Marión.

English · machine translation

In evocation my heart dreams again my heart, and the dream is you, Marion... Love of my youth that is not forgotten. Love that fills with light all my life. Shadows of yesterday, with their sadness of song will always say to me: Marion... Marion, I know that by your side I was happy when I gave you my heart in old Paris. I remember the anguish of goodbye and the sky crying for both of us... Marion, distant love that I left, I want you to know, my heart, that I never forgot you. Dream of Paris that became entangled with the emotion of your endless love, Marion... Today there remains only the dawn of your fragrance and the perfumed murmur of distance. Shadows of yesterday, with a gray tone of evocation will always say to me: Marion.

The leader is Miguel Caló, with 83% of the 160 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

15 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.
