Lyrics
Su frágil figurita iluminaba el salón
Presencia de alas de tango alucinado y seductor
Si Scola la hubiera visto se la llevaba con él
Tan pálida, en su vestido negro, volaba de placer
El tiempo no era tiempo en aquel lugar
Un solo gozo era ver las parejas bailar
Cada giro en mi cabeza fué una historia
Buenos Aires con su magia se metió en mi memoria
Aromas de la noche entraban por el ventanal
Reinaba el dos por cuatro en las inquietas miradas
Acariciaba el bailarín su linda espalda
Hacía girar sus pies al compás del alma
Alas de tango llenaban de luna la penumbra
Y en un brindis de champagne la sala fué quedando a oscuras
El día que se baile tango en las calles del amor
Cara a cara, ojos cerrados, corazón a corazón
Cada giro en mi cabeza fué una historia
Buenos Aires con su magia se metió en mi memoria
Lyrics translation
His fragile little figure lit up the living room
Presence of hallucinated and seductive tango wings
If Scola had seen her, he'd take her with him.
So pale, in her black dress, she flew with pleasure
Time was not time in that place
One Joy was watching couples dance
Every turn in my head was a story
Buenos Aires with its magic got into my memory
Scents of the night came through the window
Reigned two by four in the Restless glances
Stroked the dancer her cute back
He turned his feet to the beat of the soul
Tango wings filled the moon with penumbra
And in a toast of champagne the room went dark
The day you dance tango in the streets of love
Face to face, eyes closed, heart to heart
Every turn in my head was a story
Buenos Aires with its magic got into my memory
