Lyrics

Español

Hoy, después de tanto tiempo de no verte, de no hablarte, ya cansado de buscarte siempre, siempre, siento que me voy muriendo por tu olvido, lentamente, y en el frío de mi frente tus besos no dejarás. Sé que mucho me has querido tanto, tanto como yo; pero, en cambio, yo he sufrido mucho, mucho más que vos. No sé porque te perdí, tampoco sé cuándo fue, pero a tu lado dejé toda mi vida, y hoy que estás lejos de mí y has conseguido olvidar, soy un pasaje de tu vida, nada más. ¡Es tan poco lo que falta para irme con la muerte! Ya mis ojos no han de verte nunca, nunca. Y si un día, por mi culpa, una lágrima vertiste, porque tanto me quisiste sé que me perdonarás.

English · machine translation

Today, after so long of not seeing you, of not talking to you tired of looking for you always, always, I feel that I am dying because of your oblivion, slowly, and in the cold of my forehead your kisses will not leave. I know that you have loved me so much as much, as much as me; but, on the other hand, I have suffered much, much more than you. I don't know why I lost you, nor do I know when it was, but at your side I left all my life, and today that you are far from me and you've managed to forget, I am a passage of your life, nothing more. It's so little that's left to go with death! My eyes will never see you ever, ever. And if one day, because of me you shed a tear, because you loved me so much I know that you will forgive me.

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

The leader is Aníbal Troilo, with 96% of the 156 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

2 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.

Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.
