Lyrics

Translation

Quiero bailar la zamba

I want to dance the zamba

con el pañuelo que te robé

with the handkerchief I stole from you

y andar tras tu pollera

and walk behind your skirt

la noche entera buscandote.

all night long searching for you.


Que tienes tus enaguas

That you have your petticoats

que cuando bailo juntito a ti

that when I dance close to you

siento como si andara

I feel as if there is

una cosa rara dentro de mi.

something strange inside of me.


Suena la medianoche

Midnight sounds

una guitarra y un bandoneón

a guitar and a bandoneon

vieras como palpita

you would see how it beats

en la zambita mi corazón.

in the little zamba, my heart.


Quiero mirar tus ojos

I want to look into your eyes

sentir de cerca tu suave voz

feel your soft voice up close

y saborear tu boca

and savor your mouth

que me provoca un que sé yo.

that provokes something in me, I don't know what.


Cada vez que te pido

Every time I ask you

de que bailemos una vez mas*

to dance once more*

es porque sé donosa

it's because I know, charming one,

que por airosa me enamorás.

that by your grace, you make me fall in love.


*un poco más

*a little more
