Los dos parlantes afuera
The two speakers outside
La música en el balcón
music on the balcony
Cayendo por la vereda
falling down the sidewalk
En sonoro borbotón
in a loud gush
Alguien me acerca un trago
someone bring me a drink
Alguien me quiere hablar
someone wants to talk to me
Yo sólo quiero que mires
I just want you to look
Mientras te miro girar
As I watch you spin
Llevas el cabello suelto
you wear your hair down
Y sandalias en los pies
And sandals on the feet
Tu vestidito violeta
your purple dress
Cabe todo en una nuez
It all fits in a nut
Alguien me hace preguntas
someone ask me questions
Alguien me ofrece fumar
someone offers me to smoke
A todo digo que sí
I say yes to everything
Con tal de verte bailar
Just to see you dance
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Quisiera verte girando, girando
I would like to see you turning, turning
Y mirándome mirar
and watching me watch
Soy aquel tipo callado
I'm that quiet guy
Con aires de intelectual
with airs of intellectual
Que te mira de costado
that looks at you from the side
Sólo por disimular
just to hide
'Gracias, pero no, no bailo
'Thank you, but no, I don't dance
Quizás la próxima vez
Maybe next time
Tengo torpes las rodillas
I have clumsy knees
Y tú veloces los pies'
And you quick feet'
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Quisiera verte girando, girando
I would like to see you turning, turning
Mirándome mirar
watching me watch
Porque bailas
Why are you dancing
Como quien respira
like who breathes
Con un antiguo don de fluir
With an ancient gift of flow
Y parece tan fácil
and it seems so easy
Como dejar el corazón latir
How to let the heart beat
Como dejar el corazón latir
How to let the heart beat
Los dos parlantes afuera
The two speakers outside
La música en el balcón
music on the balcony
Cayendo por la vereda
falling down the sidewalk
En sonoro borbotón
in a loud gush
'Los músicos no bailamos
'We musicians don't dance
Ya habrás oído decir
you will have heard
Gracias de todos modos
Thank you anyway
Y gracias por insistir'
And thanks for insisting
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Quisiera verte girando, girando
I would like to see you turning, turning
Mirándome mirar
watching me watch
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Sólo quiero verte bailar
I just want to see you dance
Quisiera verte girando, girando
I would like to see you turning, turning
Mirándome mirar
watching me watch
Porque bailas
Why are you dancing
Como quien respira
like who breathes
Con un antiguo don de fluir
With an ancient gift of flow
