Translation of the song lyrics Alas De Tango - Leon Gieco

Alas De Tango (original)

Su frágil figurita iluminaba el salón
Presencia de alas de tango alucinado y seductor
Si Scola la hubiera visto se la llevaba con él
Tan pálida, en su vestido negro, volaba de placer
El tiempo no era tiempo en aquel lugar
Un solo gozo era ver las parejas bailar
Cada giro en mi cabeza fué una historia
Buenos Aires con su magia se metió en mi memoria
Aromas de la noche entraban por el ventanal
Reinaba el dos por cuatro en las inquietas miradas
Acariciaba el bailarín su linda espalda
Hacía girar sus pies al compás del alma
Alas de tango llenaban de luna la penumbra
Y en un brindis de champagne la sala fué quedando a oscuras
El día que se baile tango en las calles del amor
Cara a cara, ojos cerrados, corazón a corazón
Cada giro en mi cabeza fué una historia
Buenos Aires con su magia se metió en mi memoria

Alas De Tango (translation)

Her fragile little figure lit up the room
Presence of hallucinatory and seductive tango wings
If Scola had seen her she would take her with him
So pale, in her black dress, she flew with pleasure
Time was not time in that place
A single joy was to see the couples dance
Every turn in my head was a story
Buenos Aires with her magic of her got into my memory
Scents of the night entered through the window
The two by four reigned in the restless looks
The dancer caressed her pretty back
She twirled her feet to the beat of her soul
Tango wings filled the gloom with the moon
And in a champagne toast the room went dark
The day tango is danced in the streets of love
Face to face, eyes closed, heart to heart
Every turn in my head was a story
Buenos Aires with her magic of her got into my memory
