Lyrics
Español
¿De dónde vino esta alegría de vivir? ¿De dónde surge este deseo de cantar? ¿Por qué entreveo luminoso el porvenir? ¿Por qué en mi pecho el corazón siento vibrar? Es el milagro de tu amor embriagador Que ha disipado toda sombra de dolor... Y pone rosas en mi camino Y un peregrino Y sutil fulgor... Mañana lloraré tal vez La dicha y el placer de hoy... Pues bien sé que riendo y llorando Se vive el amor... Los celos clavarán en mí, Su flecha cruel y ya sin fe He de sentir sangrar Mi corazón por ti... Por eso aquí, junto a tu pecho he de cantar Y he de besar para olvidar, tu boca en flor... Ebria de amor, quiero en tus brazos desmayar Que puede ser frágil y breve nuestro ardor... Amemos hoy... Un alma hagamos de las dos Ríe y no pienses en la hora del adiós... Déjame amarte auque sea un día Que esta alegría Nos acerca a Dios!...

Where did this joy of life come from? Where does this desire to sing come from? Why do I glimpse the future bright? Why do I feel my heart vibrating in my chest? It is the miracle of your intoxicating love That has dispelled every shadow of pain... And puts roses in my path And a pilgrim And subtle glow... Tomorrow I will weep perhaps Today's joy and pleasure... For well I know that laughing and crying Love is lived... Jealousy will stick in me Its cruel arrow and now without faith I will feel my heart bleed My heart for you... That's why here, next to your breast I'll sing And I'll kiss to forget, your mouth in bloom... Drunk with love, I want to faint in your arms That our ardor may be fragile and brief... Let us love today... Let's make one soul out of the two of us Laugh and don't think of the hour of goodbye... Let me love you even for a day That this joy Brings us closer to God...

“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.
