Dance with Me

Dance with Me

We dance the milonga style,

as though in the crush of a club,

where the smoke rises to the lights.

But we are in the street…

Oblivious to all,

save ourselves

and the music.

The guitarras and the cajon

play Desde el Alma

and the singer speaks for us,

while you hold me

during the vals.

And then a tango

ver-da-der-o;

another true cry

from Rosita Melo’s heart

and we dance our passion

in her honour

on the Buenos Aires pavements.
