Quien al oir los primeros compases del vals no ha tenido intenciķn de bailar, si hasta parece que el mundo en su eterno rodar girara al compas de algun vals, si usted ha soņado en sus brazos poder estrechar a esa rubia que encanta al mirar... juntos muy juntos los dos estaran si siguen el ritmo del vals. |
Who when they're hearing the opening strains of a waltz doesn't have the intention to dance, when even the whole world's rotation eternally seems to go round to the beat of some waltz, when you have been dreaming of clasping your two arms around that blonde so enchanting to see— when closer and closer together you'd be, if you followed the sweep of the waltz! |

Soņar... dejarse arruyar... decir al oido palabras tan dulces que invitan a amar... Soņar, siguiendo el compas, cerrando los ojos, muy cerca las bocas, el sueņo del vals... |
To dream... to whisper and woo... to speak in her ears sweet phrases that slowly invite her to love... To dream, while keeping the time, while closing the eyes, with lips ever closer, the dream of the waltz... |

Sentir que nos aprisiona un perfume de amor, que un angel con voz de cielo nos robe el adios... Soņar, siguiendo el compas, que todo es distinto si entrega su alma al ritmo del vals. |
To feel we're held captive by perfumes of love, and a sky-singing angel swept off our goodbye... To dream, while keeping the time, that nothing's the same when you give up your soul to the sweep of the waltz! |
