| Went to a dance one night
| Fui a un baile una noche
|
| And the beautiful music was playing
| Y la hermosa música estaba sonando
|
| And through the dim blue light
| Y a través de la tenue luz azul
|
| I could just see the silhouette swaying
| solo podía ver la silueta balanceándose
|
| Then all at once the room was aglow
| Entonces, de repente, la habitación brilló
|
| And through the couples I could see
| Y a través de las parejas pude ver
|
| A pair of angel eyes and I was hypnotised
| Un par de ojos de ángel y yo estaba hipnotizado
|
| They were looking straight at me
| Me miraban directamente
|
| They played a ladies choice
| Jugaron una elección de damas
|
| And I could feel my heart beating madly
| Y podía sentir mi corazón latiendo locamente
|
| For any moment she’d ask me to dance
| En cualquier momento me invitaba a bailar
|
| And I would say gladly
| Y diría con mucho gusto
|
| Then someone said would you care to dance?
| Entonces alguien dijo ¿te gustaría bailar?
|
| I turned around when I heard her voice
| Me di la vuelta cuando escuché su voz.
|
| But it was someone else, oh how sad I felt
| Pero era otro, ay que triste me sentia
|
| For I was the wrong ladies choice
| Porque yo era la elección equivocada de damas
|
| And when the song was through she was alone and I caught her eye
| Y cuando la canción terminó, ella estaba sola y atrapé su mirada
|
| I had to make my play before she’d dance with some other guy
| Tuve que hacer mi obra antes de que ella bailara con otro chico
|
| So as the music played
| Así que mientras la música sonaba
|
| She laid her sweet head on my shoulder
| Ella puso su dulce cabeza en mi hombro
|
| And she could see the love that I felt
| Y ella pudo ver el amor que yo sentía
|
| As though I had told her
| Como si le hubiera dicho
|
| Was someone waiting to take her home?
| ¿Había alguien esperándola para llevarla a casa?
|
| I wondered who would the luck boy be?
| Me preguntaba quién sería el chico de la suerte.
|
| And when the dance was through, all the world was new
| Y cuando terminó el baile, todo el mundo era nuevo
|
| For the ladies choice was me
| Para las damas la elección era yo
|
| Yeah, the ladies choice was me
| Sí, la elección de las damas era yo.
|
| Mmm, the ladies choice was me | Mmm, la elección de las damas fui yo |
