Lyrics
Español
Hoy, quiero revivir La dicha de ayer, esa etapa feliz. Hoy, vengan a bailar Lo mismo que ayer quiero verlo otra vez. Hoy, el amor es hoy Si la juventud tan fugaz se marchó, Y hoy los dos, bailando como ayer Con sólo una ilusión, amar. Así bailaban mis abuelos Elegantes, marcando el compás, Así bailaban... enamorados Mientras giraban al ritmo del vals. Así bailaban mis abuelos Con el mundo rodando a sus pies, Abuelos, no lloren abuelos Volvamos de nuevo, de nuevo a soñar, Bailemos, abuelos, bailemos Que el vals y la vida, girando se van. Abuelos, queridos abuelos Bailemos, bailemos, al ritmo del vals...
English · machine translation
Today, I want to relive Yesterday's joy, that happy time. Today, come and dance The same as yesterday I want to see it again. Today, love is today If youth so fleeting is gone, And today the two of us, dancing like yesterday With only one illusion, to love. That's how my grandparents danced Elegant, marking the beat, That's how they danced... in love As they twirled to the rhythm of the waltz. That's how my grandparents danced With the world rolling at their feet, Grandparents, don't cry grandparents Let's go back again, let's go back to dreaming, Let's dance, grandparents, let's dance Let's dance, grandparents, let's dance, Let's dance, grandparents, let's dance. Grandparents, dear grandparents Let's dance, let's dance, let's dance, to the rhythm of the waltz....
