Lyrics
Español
Llega tu recuerdo en torbellino, vuelve en el otoño a atardecer miro la garúa, y mientras miro, gira la cuchara de café. Del último café que tus labios con frío, pidieron esa vez con la voz de un suspiro. Recuerdo tu desdén, te evoco sin razón, te escucho sin que estés. 'Lo nuestro terminó', dijiste en un adiós de azúcar y de hiel... ¡Lo mismo que el café, que el amor, que el olvido! Que el vértigo final de un rencor sin porqué... Y allí, con tu impiedad, me vi morir de pie, medí tu vanidad y entonces comprendí mi soledad sin para qué... Llovía y te ofrecí, ¡el último café!
English · machine translation
Your memory arrives in a whirlwind, returns in the autumn at sunset I look at the drizzle, and while I look, the coffee spoon turns. From the last coffee that your lips coldly asked for that time with the voice of a sigh. I remember your disdain, I evoke you without reason, I listen to you without you being there. It's over between us, you said in a goodbye of sugar and gall... The same as coffee, as love, as oblivion! Than the final vertigo of a rancor without a reason... And there, with your impiety I saw myself die on my feet, I measured your vanity and then I understood my loneliness without what for... It was raining and I offered you, the last coffee!

a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to
The leader is Juan D'Arienzo, 1964, with 100% of the 115 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.
Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.
