Lyrics
Español
Poco tiempo atrás era tu querer la luz que alumbraba mi existencia y para los dos, fue tan sólo ayer, mo existía la palabra ausencia. El nuestro era el amor de los veinte años, amor de Margarita y de Duval. Pero, lo de siempre, un desengaño al final nos tuvo que apartar. ¡Qué importa que me digan que has cambiado y un brillante has colocado en el sitio del corazón! ¡Qué importa si te fuiste de mi lado, sólo yo sé porque fue tu cariño lo pagué con maldad y con traición.
English · machine translation
A short time ago it was your love the light that illuminated my existence and for both of us, it was only yesterday, there was no such word as absence. Ours was the love of twenty years, love of Marguerite and Duval. But, as always, a disillusionment in the end had to separate us. What does it matter that they tell me that you have changed and a shining you have placed in the place of the heart! What does it matter if you left my side, only I know why it was your affection I paid for it with wickedness and betrayal.

a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to
The leader is Juan D'Arienzo, 1939, with 99% of the 138 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.
15 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.
