Lyrics

Español

No me hablas, tesoro mío, no me hablas ni me has mirado. Fueron tres años, mi vida, tres años muy lejos de tu corazón. ¡Hablame, rompé el silencio! ¿No ves que me estoy muriendo? Y quítame este tormento, porque tu silencio ya me dice adiós. ¡Qué cosas que tiene la vida! ¡Qué cosas tener que llorar! ¡Qué cosas que tiene el destino! Será mi camino sufrir y penar. Pero deja que bese tus labios, un solo momento, y después me voy; y quítame este tormento, porque tu silencio ya me dice adiós. Aún tengo fuego en los labios, del beso de despedida. ¿Cómo pensar que mentías, si tus negros ojos lloraban por mí? ¡Hablame, rompé el silencio! ¿No ves que me estoy muriendo? Y quítame este tormento, porque tu silencio ya me dice adiós.

English · machine translation

You do not speak to me, my treasure, you don't speak to me and you haven't looked at me. It was three years, my life, three years far away from your heart. Speak to me, break the silence! Can't you see I'm dying? And take this torment away from me, because your silence already says goodbye to me. What a thing life has to offer! What a thing to have to cry! What a thing destiny has! It will be my way to suffer and sorrow. But let me kiss your lips just for a moment, and then I'll go; and take this torment away from me, because your silence already tells me goodbye. I still have fire on my lips, from the farewell kiss. How could I think you were lying, if your black eyes were crying for me? Speak to me, break the silence! Can't you see I'm dying? And take this torment away from me, because your silence already says goodbye to me.

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

The leader is Héctor Varela, with 93% of the 196 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

16 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.
