Takie Tango

In the large and shining hall
Just like Buenos Aires at night
Who doesn't want to sleep
The orchestra tunes its instruments
He gives a sign and will start soon
Play the new tango
We sit next to each other indifferently
Towards each other like tourists
Tapping out the rhythm
There will be no tango between us
Even if a miracle were to happen
Nothing will help

Even though sharp notes flow
Blood is burning in my veins
Neither of us ever danced
It won't budge

Because it takes two to tango
Compatible bodies and willing hearts
Because it takes two to tango
This is how complex this world is

It will eventually flood Buenos Aires
A night as thick as ink
And when dawn comes
What was in our hearts once
Once like a shining diamond
It will lose all its shine

And even though they will play again
God only knows
Never together in this room
We won't meet

Because it takes two to tango
Compatible bodies and willing hearts
Because it takes two to tango
This is how complex this world is

Maybe someday in this room
We will dance tango there
Because these arguments mean nothing

Because it takes two to tango
Compatible bodies and willing hearts
Because it takes two to tango
This is how complex this world is
