Lyrics

Español
Canción sentimental, canción de amor y juventud; humilde y bella flor de mi inmortal barrio del sur. Querido valsecito de los primeros sueños, de la primera novia, de la ilusión azul... Bailando con tu son iban los pies y el corazón; dichoso de vivir, en la cabeza había un zorzal, rimando con las notas de tus violines tiernos, de tus guitarras criollas querido y viejo vals... Acento suave que en las noches claras guirnaldas de ensueños tejió. Y que es como un ave batiendo sus alas por sobre los patios de la evocación... Embrujo dulce de luna y estrellas mecido por versos de amor... ¡querido y viejo vals, la tuya es mi emoción! Acaso ya no soy aquel que ayer bailó a tu son, acaso ya no sé volver a amar como yo amé... Pregúntenle el motivo a los quebrados sueños, a la perdida novia, a la marchita fe... ¡Mas si oigo tu compás vuelvo a encender mi corazón! Si un patio trae a mi tu grata voz de la amistad, me abrazo a la nostalgia de tus violines tiernos, de tus guitarras criollas, querido y viejo vals...
English · machine translation
Sentimental song, song of love and youth; humble and beautiful flower of my immortal southern neighborhood. Dear little waltz of the first dreams, of the first bride, of the blue illusion... Dancing with your sound went the feet and the heart; happy to live, in the head there was a thrush, rhyming with the notes of your tender violins, of your Creole guitars dear old waltz... Soft accent that in the clear nights wove garlands of dreams. And that is like a bird flapping its wings over the courtyards of evocation... Sweet enchantment of moon and stars rocked by love verses... dear old waltz, yours is my emotion! Perhaps I am no longer the one who yesterday danced to your tune, perhaps I no longer know to love again as I loved... Ask the reason to the broken dreams, to the lost bride, to the withered faith... But if I hear your beat I rekindle my heart! If a courtyard brings to me your pleasant voice of friendship, I embrace the nostalgia of your tender violins, of your Creole guitars, dear old waltz...

“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.
