Lyrics

Español

Rara.. como encendida te hallé bebiendo linda y fatal... Bebías y en el fragor del champán, loca, reías por no llorar... Pena Me dio encontrarte pues al mirarte yo vi brillar tus ojos con un eléctrico ardor, tus bellos ojos que tanto adoré... Esta noche, amiga mía, el alcohol nos ha embriagado... ¡Qué importa que se rían y nos llamen los mareados! Cada cual tiene sus penas y nosotros las tenemos... Esta noche beberemos porque ya no volveremos a vernos más... Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado, en el pasado de mi vida... Tres cosas lleva mi alma herida: amor... pesar... dolor... Hoy vas a entrar en mi pasado y hoy nuevas sendas tomaremos... ¡Qué grande ha sido nuestro amor!... Y, sin embargo, ¡ay!, mirá lo que quedó...

English · machine translation

Rare... as if on fire I found you drinking beautiful and fatal... You were drinking and in the champagne's roar.., mad, you laughed for not crying... Sorrow I was sorry to meet you because when I looked at you I saw your eyes your eyes with an electric ardor, your beautiful eyes that I adored so much... Tonight, my friend, alcohol has intoxicated us... What does it matter if they laugh and call us the dizzy ones! Everyone has their sorrows and we have them... Tonight we'll drink because we won't see each other to see each other again... Today you're going to enter my past, into the past of my life... Three things my wounded soul carries: love... sorrow... pain... Today you are going to enter my past and today we will take new paths... How great our love has been!.... And yet, alas! look what is left...

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

The leader is Osvaldo Pugliese, with 69% of the 310 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

13 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.
