Lyrics

Español

Muchachos, comienza la ronda que el tango invita a formar ¿Quién, al oir el arranque de un son tan brillante, no sale a bailar? Yasí enredar su emoción a esta canción que en nuestras almas se ahonda. Muchachos, comienza la ronda... Vayan pasando al salón. No se pierdan ni un compás de este tango que va cautivando rebelde y dulzón. Entre vueltas y requiebros galantes imaginemos hoy vivir el tiempo de antes; ese tiempo feliz del chambergo bien gris, el piropo locuaz y el farol de arrabal. No se pierdan ni un compás de este tango... Así, al escucharlo, ¡qué lindo es bailar! Oyendo este son tan porteño revive mi corazón... Mientras entono este tango me voy oluidando de todo dolor. Su musiquita cordial y sin igual en nuestras almas se ahonda... Muchachos, comienza la ronda... Vayan pasando al salón.

English · machine translation

Boys, the round begins that the tango invites to form Who, on hearing the start of such a brilliant sound does not come out to dance? And thus entangle your emotion to this song that deepens in our souls. Boys, the round begins... Come into the hall. Don't miss a single beat of this tango that is captivating rebellious and sweet. Between turns and gallant requiebros let's imagine today living the time of yesteryear; that happy time of the very gray chambergo, the loquacious piropo and the suburban lantern. Don't miss a single beat of this tango... So, when you listen to it, how nice it is to dance! Hearing this son so porteño revives my heart... While I sing this tango I am forgetting of all pain. Its cordial little music and without equal in our souls deepens... Boys, the round begins... Come into the living room.
