La cumparsita (en ingles i)

Letra de H. Johnson
Música de Matos Rodríguez

Del libro «Favorite Collection of Tangos» por Xavier Cugat

With your love dear you’re masquerading
and my love dear you keep evading
can’t you see you should let me speak dear
why should we two play hide and seek dear
why mislead me why this illusion
my poor heart beats in mad confusion
hurry dear one, unmask lour love for me
cease the part that you have been playing
and hear the voice of Cupid saying
be gone with all the toying of hearts
unmask I command you
twelve o’clock that witching hour
oh darling do not fail me then
take off that false disguise
let me see paradise with your eyes again
heart to heart we’ll start romancing
while in fond embrace we are dancing
knowing there is born a new love
sweeter than the old, a true love
and darling promise this to me
no more that mask of mistery
shall spoil our dream of bliss to be
promise my love
