Lyrics
Español
Siempre igual es el camino que ilumina y dora el sol... Si parece que el destino más lo alarga para mi dolor. Y este verde suelo, donde crece el cardo, lejos toca el cielo cerca de mi amor... Y de cuando en cuando un nido para que lo envidie yo. Vida mía, lejos más te quiero. Vida mía, piensa en mi regreso, Sé que el oro no tendrá tus besos Y es por eso que te quiero más. Vida mía, hasta apuro el aliento acercando el momento de acariciar felicidad. Sos mi vida y quisiera llevarte a mi lado prendida y así ahogar mi soledad. Ya parece que la huella va perdiendo su color y saliendo las estrellas dan al cielo todo su esplendor. Y de poco a poco luces que titilan dan severo tono mientras huye el sol. De esas luces que yo veo ella una la encendió.

Always the same is the path that illuminates and gilds the sun... If it seems that destiny the more it lengthens it for my pain. And this green soil where the thistle grows, far touches the sky close to my love... And from time to time a nest for me to envy. My life, far away I love you more. My life, think of my return, I know that gold will not have your kisses And that's why I love you more. My life, I even hurry my breath approaching the moment of caressing happiness. You are my life and I would like to take you by my side, fastened to my side and thus drown my loneliness. It already seems that the track is losing its color and the stars are coming out give the sky all its splendor. And little by little twinkling lights give a stern tone as the sun flees. Of those lights I see she lit one.

The leader is Osvaldo Fresedo, with 95% of the 75 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.
13 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.
