Lyrics
Español
Pero por Dios, quiero vivir Para sentir, ese placer, Quiero, mi bien, con ansias locas Tu linda boca, poder besar. Si supieras el dolor que llevo dentro de mi alma Que no puedo hallar un momento de calma Que alivie mi pecho de este gran dolor, Pues tú vives en mi mente cual imagen adorada Sos la mística flor delicada Por la cual suspiro con ardiente amor. Tú eres alma de mi alma buena, que calma la pena Que con gran empeño quiero que este sueño, Sea el sueño eterno de este gran amor, Tú eres fuente inagotable que alimenta mi cariño Con la misma ingenuidad de un niño Yo confío en ti como si fuera en Dios. Virgen de amor, ven hacia mí Porque sin ti, no puedo estar, Ven, ¡Oh, mi bien!... Ven, ¡Oh, mi encanto! Y oirás el canto, que hay en mi ser.
English · machine translation
But by God, I want to live To feel, that pleasure, I want, my goodness, with mad longing Your beautiful mouth, to be able to kiss. If you only knew the pain I carry inside my soul That I can't find a moment of calm To relieve my chest of this great pain, For you live in my mind like an adored image. You are the mystical delicate flower For which I sigh with ardent love. Thou art the soul of my good soul, that soothes the pain That with great determination I want this dream, Be the eternal dream of this great love, You are the inexhaustible source that nourishes my affection With the same naivety of a child I trust in you as in God. Virgin of love, come to me For without you, I cannot be, Come, O my goodness... Come, Oh, my darling! And you will hear the song, which is in my being.

2 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.
