Lyrics

Español

¡Qué noche llena de hastío y de frío! El viento trae un extraño lamento. ¡Parece un pozo de sombras la noche y yo en la sombra camino muy lento.! Mientras tanto la garúa se acentúa con sus púas en mi corazón... En esta noche tan fría y tan mía pensando siempre en lo mismo me abismo y aunque quiera arrancarla, desecharla y olvidarla la recuerdo más. ¡Garúa! Solo y triste por la acera va este corazón transido con tristeza de tapera. Sintiendo tu hielo, porque aquella, con su olvido, hoy le ha abierto una gotera. ¡Perdido! Como un duende que en la sombra más la busca y más la nombra... Garúa... tristeza... ¡Hasta el cielo se ha puesto a llorar! ¡Qué noche llena de hastío y de frío! No se ve a nadie cruzar por la esquina. Sobre la calle, la hilera de focos lustra el asfalto con luz mortecina. Y yo voy, como un descarte, siempre solo, siempre aparte, recordándote. Las gotas caen en el charco de mi alma hasta los huesos calados y helados y humillando este tormento todavía pasa el viento empujándome.

English · machine translation

What a night full of boredom and cold! The wind brings a strange lament. The night seems like a well of shadows and I walk very slowly in the shadows! Meanwhile the drizzle is accentuated with its barbs in my heart... In this night so cold and so mine always thinking about the same thing, I am abyssed and even if I want to tear it out throw it away and forget it I remember her more. Garúa! Alone and sad on the sidewalk goes this transient heart with the sadness of a tapera. Feeling your ice because that one, with her forgetfulness, today has opened a leak. Lost! Like a goblin who in the shadows the more he searches for her and the more he names her... Garúa... sadness... Even the sky has begun to cry! What a night full of boredom and cold! No one is seen crossing the corner. Above the street, the row of spotlights shines on the asphalt with dim light. And I go, like a discard, always alone, always apart, remembering you. The drops fall in the puddle of my soul to my bones soaked and frozen and humiliating this torment the wind still passes pushing me.

a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to

The leader is Aníbal Troilo, with 76% of the 74 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

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.
