Letra de Agnes Sarli
Música de Xavier Cugat
It was night in Argentina
and the stars were shining bright
Softly played the concertina
and romance was in its flight
Rising moon in all its splendor
saw this heart of mine surrender
when a voice so sweet and low
whispered soft «I love you so»
setting all of me aglow.
Flame, deep in my heart,
there is a flame born of desire
flame, lighting the night,
blown by the wind,
spreading like wild fire
you kindled the spark,
when in the dark
softly you kissed me,
now my life is not the same
it’s just one burning flame.
Never thought I’d ever find you
when I dreamt of love supreme,
with the moon and stars behind you
you were like my secret dream
in my heart there was confusion
were you real or just illusion?
there was silence in the park
there was danger in the dark,
and my heart has caught the spark.
