Invitango [English translation]

I invite you to the indecence

of this nearly Argentine tango

where I will be acquainted

with your body against mine ;

where you will discover

this exotic conversation.

When music is offered,

know it: it must be followed.

(chorus)

Step into my tango

and I will dance you

with half closed lids.

Lost, among reflections

of the music that carries us away...

As the violins

tell about their sorrow.

Our fingers intertwined

as the petals of a flower

will convince you that I am yours

and you are close to my heart...

I will tell you in Spanish

the loving words I know

and we will see who loses his head

first under the influence of...

(chorus)

I say "tu" to you, we are old enough

to say "tu" to each other even if we're not acquainted.

And since the tango compels you

to recognize me forever...

We might as well not fuss about it

and start kissing each other

since they dimmed the lights

to spare us the embarassment...

Step into my love,

I wil argentinize1 you

till dawn breaks

To show you the country you like.

The tango alone is to blame...

for this beautiful, unforgettable trip.

They ask weird questions ;

don't even listen to them.

They would do anything

to make me miss my step...

From this sexy rhythm,

what will remain ?

I know where the tango begins,

where will it end in this tale...

of this nearly argentine tango?
