Lyrics

Español

Vals sentimental de nuestras viejas horas, ¡nunca te escuché tan triste como ahora! Llegas hasta mi para aumentar mi queja, tiene tu rondín sabor a cosa vieja... Vals sentimental, ingenuo y ondulante, vuelvo a recordar aquellos tiempos de antes. Una voz lejana me acusa en tu canción, ¡valcesito!... ¡y envuelve mi emoción! Vuelca tu nostalgia febril, tu musiquita sensual, se que no es posible seguir oyéndote sin llorar. Valcesito amigo, no ves esta incertidumbre tenaz que no hace más que remover y conmover mi soledad... Unos ojos verdes de mar más grandes que su ilusión, unas ansias grandes de amar... después... llorando una voz... Valcesito amigo, no ves que tu musiquita sensual no sabe más que atormentar y atormentar mi corazón... Cuando llegue el fin de mi oración postrera, quiero imaginarla así, como ella era... Juntaré mi voz a aquellos labios suyos, mientras tu canción nos servirá de arrullo. Vals sentimental de nuestras horas, ya no me verán tan triste como ahora. Lentamente tus notas amigas cantaré, valsecito... ¡y entonces moriré!

English · machine translation

Sentimental waltz of our old times, I never heard you so sad as now! You come to me to increase my complaint, your roundness tastes like an old thing... Sentimental waltz, naive and undulating, I remember again those times of yesteryear. A distant voice accuses me in your song, Valcesito!... and it envelops my emotion! Pour out your feverish nostalgia, your sensual little music, I know it's not possible to go on listening to you without crying. Valcesito friend, don't you see this tenacious uncertainty that does nothing more but stir and move my loneliness... Green eyes of the sea bigger than their illusion, a great desire to love... then... crying a voice... Valcesito friend, don't you see that your sensual music knows nothing more than to torment and torment my heart... When the end of my last prayer comes, I want to imagine her like that, as she was... I will join my voice to those lips of hers.., while your song will serve us as a lullaby. Sentimental waltz of our hours, I will no longer be seen as sad as I am now. Slowly I'll sing your friendly notes, little waltz... and then I'll die!
