Bailarina [English translation]

Dance, dance, dance, dancer

he always spying behind a curtain

that secret love he pretends and avoids him

that escapes like smoke tiptoes

Dance, dance, dance, dancer

he always spying behind a curtain

dance, dance, dance, dance

dance, dance, dance, dancer

dancer, dancer, dancer.

He saw her growing, becoming a woman

since little studying ballet

always dreaming to be what she is

the number one while he

as stagehand following her feet

in the dark without being seen

behind the scenes appearing

they could never suspect him.

Is not that he feels he's old

that on the forties you don't have time for that

what disturbs are her sixteen years

that barrier that exists and can't see

there's no frown that makes him believe

that what he feels he can understand

there's no duplicity in his words

but there are looks that he never understands well

But what could happen has happened

that illusion comes and goes

he comes to look for her in a motorbike

he sees them going among an infernal noise

desperate he wanted to hang himself

he tied the rope and jumped from the curtain

she was dancing, she saw him landing

and went to send him candy at the hospital
