Casi no hablabas,
No te importaba ya la fiesta,
Sólo mirabas
Aquel muchacho de la orquesta.
 
Los versos de algún tango musitabas
Y en tu pecho, el compás acunabas,
Vino de golpe este amor,
Entre unos acordes dulces
En la voz de aquel cantor.
 
Cuando pasabas bailando
Tus ojos le iban hablando
Del amor que despertó,
Y al llegar el intervalo,
Casi corriste a buscarlo
Cuando del palco bajó.
 
Después, eras otra
Tu rostro se iluminó,
Qué contenta que volviste,
Esa noche no dormiste
Pensando en aquel cantor.

English translation

You hardly spoke,
You didn't care about the party anymore,
You just watched
That boy in the orchestra.
 
The verses of some tango you were mumbling
And in your chest, you cradled the beat,
Suddenly this love came,
Between some sweet chords
In the voice of that singer.
 
When you danced by
Your eyes were telling him
Of the love that awoke,
And when the interval came,
You almost ran to look for him
When he came down from the box.
 
Afterwards, you were another
Your face lit up,
How glad you came back,
That night you did not sleep
Thinking of that singer.
