Letra del Vals Así bailaban mis abuelos

Hoy, quiero revivir

La dicha de ayer, esa etapa feliz.

Hoy, vengan a bailar

Lo mismo que ayer quiero verlo otra vez.

Hoy, el amor es hoy

Si la juventud tan fugaz se marchó,

Y hoy los dos, bailando como ayer

Con sólo una ilusión, amar.



Así bailaban mis abuelos

Elegantes, marcando el compás,

Así bailaban… enamorados

Mientras giraban al ritmo del vals.

Así bailaban mis abuelos

Con el mundo rodando a sus pies,

Abuelos, no lloren abuelos

Volvamos de nuevo, de nuevo a soñar,

Bailemos, abuelos, bailemos

Que el vals y la vida, girando se van.



Abuelos, queridos abuelos

Bailemos, bailemos, al ritmo del vals…

English lyrics of the Vals "Así bailaban mis abuelos"

Today, I want to relive

The joy of yesterday, that happy stage.

Today, come dance

Just like yesterday, I want to see it again.

Today, love is now

If youth so fleeting has gone,

And today both of us, dancing like before

With just one dream, to love.

This is how my grandparents danced

Elegant, keeping the beat,

This is how they danced… in love

While spinning to the rhythm of the waltz.

This is how my grandparents danced

With the world spinning at their feet,

Grandparents, don’t cry grandparents

Let’s dream again, dream anew,

Let’s dance, grandparents, let’s dance

As the waltz and life keep spinning.

Grandparents, dear grandparents

Let’s dance, let’s dance, to the rhythm of the waltz…

Así bailaban mis abuelos in historic Context

During this era, traditional values and the old ways of life were often looked upon with a sense of longing amidst the country’s instability. The themes of love, tradition, and memory probably resonated deeply with an audience coping with uncertainty, offering a momentary retreat to a cherished, peaceful past.
