Lyrics

Español

No quiero nada, nada más que no me dejes, frente a frente, con la vida. Me moriré si me dejás por que sin vos no he de saber vivir. Y no te pido más que eso, que no me dejes sucumbir, te lo suplico por Dios no me quites el calor de tu cariño y tus besos, que, si me falta la luz de tu mirar, que es mi sol, será mi vida una cruz. Cuánta nieve habrá en mi vida sin el fuego de tus ojos! Y mi alma, ya perdida, sangrando por la herida, se dejará morir, y en la cruz de mis anhelos llenaré de brumas mi alma, morirá el azul del cielo, sobre mi desvelo viéndote partir. No quiero nada, nada más que la mentira de tu amor, como limosna. ¿Qué voy a hacer si me dejás con el vacío de mi decepción? No te vayas te lo ruego, no destroces mi corazón, si no lo hacés por amor hacelo por compasión pero por Dios no me dejés jamás te molestaré, seré una sombra a tus pies, tirada en algún rincón.

English · machine translation

I want nothing, nothing more than that you don't leave me, face to face, with life. I'll die if you leave me because without you I won't know how to live. And I ask no more than that, not to let me succumb, I beg you by God do not take away from me the warmth of your love and your kisses, that, if I lack the light of your gaze, which is my sun, my life will be a cross. How much snow there will be in my life without the fire of your eyes! And my soul, already lost bleeding from the wound, will be left to die, and on the cross of my longings I will fill my soul with mist, the blue of the sky will die, on my sleeplessness watching you leave. I want nothing, nothing more but the lie of your love, as alms. What will I do if you leave me with the emptiness of my disappointment? Don't go, I beg you, don't destroy my heart, if you don't do it out of love do it out of compassion but for God's sake don't leave me I will never bother you, I'll be a shadow at your feet, lying in some corner.

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

The leader is Juan D'Arienzo, with 100% of the 183 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

35 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.
