Lyrics
Mil novecientos, los bailes de antaño
Eran alegres jardines de flores,
Y las parejas valsaban contentas
Mientras los ojos hablaban de amores.
Cuando el “corsé” y “miriñaque”
Con ternura te quiere evocar.
 
Bailemos un vals como ayer
Igual que en nuestra niñez,
Remembranza de tiempos mejores
Con perfume de viejos amores.
 
Quién va a cantar, quién va a bailar
Con las caricias del vals,
Y en los sones añejos, que vienen y van
Mamá bailará con papá...
English translation
Nineteen hundred, the dances of yesteryear
Were gay flower gardens,
And couples waltzed contentedly
While the eyes spoke of love.
When the "corset" and the "miriñaque"
With tenderness wants to evoke you.
 
Let's waltz like yesterday
Just like in our childhood,
Remembrance of better times
With the perfume of old loves.
 
Who will sing, who will dance
With the caresses of the waltz,
And in the old sounds, that come and go
Mama will dance with papa...
