  1. Valsecito criollo, tranquito cortado

    Creole waltz, gently cut

  2. Sambo guaragüero, cholita mimosa

    Sambo guaragüero, sweet cholita

  3. Dibujan figuras de alegre compás

    They draw figures in a joyful beat

  4. Y van separados mientras que en el alma

    And they go apart while in the soul

  5. Hay mutuos deseos de acercarse más

    There are mutual desires to come closer

  6. Y van separados mientras que en el alma

    And they go apart while in the soul

  7. Hay mutuos deseos de acercarse más

    There are mutual desires to come closer

  8. Dale con el taco, dale con la punta

    Hit it with the heel, hit it with the tip

  1. Mueve la cintura que se va a acabar

    Move your waist, it's about to end

  2. Ahora, aprieta fuerte, pon tu cara junta

    Now, squeeze tight, put your face close

  3. Y dime si hay algo más lindo que un vals

    And tell me if there's anything more beautiful than a waltz

  4. Dale con el taco, dale con la punta

    Come on with the heel, come on with the tip

  5. Mueve la cintura que se va a acabar

    Move your waist, it's about to end

  6. Ahora, aprieta fuerte, pon tu cara junta

    Now, squeeze tight, bring your face close

  7. Y dime si hay algo más lindo que un vals

    And tell me if there's anything more beautiful than a waltz

  8. Guitarras punteadas con dedos crispados

    Guitars strummed with trembling fingers

  9. Notas que salpican en piano ruinoso

    Notes that splash on a crumbling piano

  10. Mientras los cantores persiguen el son

    While the singers chase the rhythm

  11. Con voces dolientes que brotan del alma

    With aching voices that spring from the soul

  12. Y se hacen burbujas en el corazón

    And they make bubbles in the heart

  13. Con voces dolientes que brotan del alma

    With painful voices that spring from the soul

  14. Y se hacen burbujas en el corazón (dale, dale)

    And bubble up in the heart (come on, come on)

  15. Dale con el taco, dale con la punta

    Hit it with the heel, hit it with the tip

  16. Mueve la cintura que se va a acabar

    Move your waist, it's about to end

  17. Ahora, aprieta fuerte, pon tu cara junta
