Lyrics

Español

Con mi payanca de amor, siempre mimao por la mujer, pude enlazar su corazón... ¡Su corazón! Mil bocas como una flor de juventud, supe besar, hasta saciar mi sed de amor... ¡Mi sed de amor! Ninguna pudo escuchar los trinos de mi canción, sin ofrecerse a brindar sus besos por mi pasión... ¡Ay, quién pudiera volver a ser mocito y cantar, y en brazos de la mujer la vida feliz pasar! Payanca, payanquita de mis amores, mi vida la llenaste de resplandores... ¡Payanca, payanquita ya te he perdido y sólo tu recuerdo fiel me ha seguido! Con mi payanca logré a la mujer que me gustó, y del rival siempre triunfé. ¡Siempre triunfé! El fuego del corazón en mi cantar supe poner, por eso fui rey del amor... ¡Rey del amor!

English · machine translation

With my love payanca, always pampered by the woman, I was able to bind her heart... Her heart! A thousand mouths like a flower of youth, I knew how to kiss, until I quenched my thirst for love... My thirst for love! None could hear the trills of my song, without offering to offer their kisses for my passion... Oh, who could go back to be a little boy and sing, and in the arms of a woman and spend a happy life in the arms of a woman! Payanca, payanquita of my loves, you filled my life with brightness... Payanca, payanquita I have already lost you and only your memory has followed me! With my payanca I got the woman I liked, and from the rival I always triumphed. I always triumphed! The fire of the heart I knew how to put in my singing, that's why I was king of love... King of love!

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

The leader is Juan D'Arienzo, with 91% of the 53 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.
