Letra del Tango El trece

¡Qué lindo es bailar
un tango dormilón,
gozar, soñar, vivir, sentir,
las vibraciones del corazón!

Cuando con dolor
Me balanceo al compás,
No sé lo que me pasa,
Siento un goce sin igual.

Cuando embelesado, voy en los brazos de mi bien
Rebosa mi pecho de pasión y de placer,
Y el grato vaivén de esta danza me hace muy feliz
Y es El Trece voluptuoso, el que me gusta a mí.

Es el tango para bailar
Una danza muy singular
Que el alma nos enajena
Y de emociones nos llena.

Es el tango mi gran pasión
Y palpita mi corazón
Cuando bailo con un criollo
Buen pierna y se hamaca mi corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "El trece"

How lovely it is to dance
a sleepy tango,
to enjoy, dream, live, feel,
the heart’s vibrations!

When with pain
I sway to the beat,
I don’t know what happens to me,
I feel an unparalleled joy.

When enraptured, I go in the arms of my love
My chest overflows with passion and pleasure,
And the pleasant sway of this dance makes me very happy
And it’s El Trece, voluptuous, that I like.

It’s the tango for dancing
A very unique dance
That captivates our soul
And fills us with emotions.

Tango is my great passion
And my heart beats
When I dance with a criollo
Good leg and my heart swings.
