Lyrics

Español

Por la senda del dolor cruzaron en bandadas los recuerdos del ayer trayendo en pos aquel querer donde quemé la dulce fe de mi ilusión hecha canción; plegaria en flor que ayer bordé en el calor del cuchitril de bohemia... Ensueño azul que me dejó el sinsabor de mi anemia. Se tronchó mi corazón en la esperanza vana que asomara a mi balcón y que fatal me trajo el mal... Recitado Soplaron vientos de hastío en los valles de mi vida y trajeron las cenizas de mi lírica ilusión, hecha carne en las tinieblas de mi juventud perdida donde murió mi bohemia con mi última canción. Hoy, la escarcha de los años me blanquearon los cabellos y estoy solo en la tragedia de mi triste soledad, pero aún siento la nostalgia de sus negros ojos bellos a pesar que no tuvieron para mí más que crueldad... Juventud que ya se fue tras el vano sueño azul de ayer... Deshojada y mustia flor de amor... ¡Ilusión que mató el dolor!

English · machine translation

Along the path of pain the memories of yesterday crossed in flocks bringing in pursuit that love where I burned the sweet faith of my illusion made song; prayer in flower that yesterday I embroidered in the warmth of the bohemian den... Blue reverie that left me the tastelessness of my anemia. My heart was crushed in the vain hope that I would look out on my balcony and that fatal brought me evil... Recited Winds of weariness blew through the valleys of my life and brought the ashes of my lyrical illusion, made flesh in the darkness of my lost youth where my bohemia died with my last song. Today, the frost of the years bleached my hair white and I am alone in the tragedy of my sad loneliness, but I still feel the nostalgia of her beautiful black eyes... even though they had nothing but cruelty for me... Youth that is already gone after the vain blue dream of yesterday... Leafless and wilted flower of love... Illusion that killed the pain!

The leader is Aníbal Troilo, with 56% of the 192 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

12 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.
