Lyrics

Español

¡Afuera es noche y llueve tanto!... Ven a mi lado, me dijiste, hoy tu palabra es como un manto... un manto grato de amistad... Tu copa es ésta, y la llenaste. Bebamos juntos, viejo amigo, dijiste mientras levantabas tu fina copa de champán... La historia vuelve a repetirse, mi muñequita dulce y rubia, el mismo amor... la misma lluvia... el mismo, el mismo loco afán... ¿Te acuerdas? Hace justo un año nos separamos sin un llanto... Ninguna escena, ningún daño... Simplemente fue un 'Adiós' inteligente de los dos... Tu copa es ésta, y nuevamente los dos brindamos 'por la vuelta'. Tu boca roja y oferente bebió en el fino bacarát... Después, quizá mordiendo un llanto, quedate siempre, me dijiste... Afuera es noche y llueve tanto, ... y comenzaste a llorar...

English · machine translation

It's night outside and it's raining so much!.... Come to my side, you told me, today your word is like a mantle... A pleasant mantle of friendship... Your cup is this, and you have filled it. Let's drink together, old friend, you said as you raised your fine champagne glass... History repeats itself again, my sweet little blonde doll, the same love... the same rain... the same, the same crazy eagerness... Do you remember? Just a year ago we parted without a cry... No scene, no hurt... It was simply a 'Goodbye'... intelligent from both of us... Your glass is this, and again we both toast 'for the return'. Your red and offering mouth drank in the fine baccarat... Then, perhaps biting back a cry, stay forever, you told me... It's night outside and it's raining so hard, ... and you began to cry...

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

The leader is José Basso, 1956, with 84% of the 62 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

40 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.
