"Amor y Vals"

Orquesta Rodolfo Biagi c. Alberto Lago

Recorded on 1942-05-22

Music: Rodolfo Biagi

Lyrics: Carlos Bahr

"Amor y Vals"

Hay que lindo es bailar

y dejarse llevar

dulcemente en los brazos queridos

Y sentir al girar

que los vueltas del vals

nos arrastra en su remolino

Yo no sé si es el vals

con su loco girar

que me aturde de extraña emoción

O es el dulce placer

de abrazarme a mi bien

al influjo del vals y el amor

"Love and Waltz" [Literal Translation]

It's so nice to dance

and get carried away

so sweetly in the arms of a beloved

And feel when turning

that the turns of the waltz

drag us into its whirlpool

I don't know if it's the waltz

with its crazy spin

that hits me with this strange light-headed emotion

Or is it the sweet pleasure

of embracing my beloved

under the heady influence of the waltz ... and love

To all the wonderful women I have loved [for 13 minutes (or so) at a time on the tango pista] ... and embraced in a vals (or tango or milonga) ...
