Beatriz Cisneros

Tango Argentino


This is how we dance the tango,
feeling in the face,
the blood raising in every beat,
while the arm,
like a serpent,
coils around the waist,
that it is going to break.
This is how we dance the tango,
mixing the breath,
closing the eyes
to hear better,
as the violins say to the bellows,
why from that night,
Malena sung no more.

Asi se baila el tango"
(1943 - Marvil/Randal)
