La Carta

In this letter I send you my portrait
So you can see the smile I have
That I no longer cry or suffer for your forgetfulness
From dance to dance I go and come smiling

With this letter, I truly thank you
That you have left my side forever
What I have now is what I deserve
And no one takes it away, no, no
And no one in the world takes away what was danced

A little ravine here, a little ravine there
Quebradita in all directions
A little ravine here, a little ravine there
And some other tap-dancing sounds

I do not expect your reply from this letter
But if it comes, it will be welcomed
I hope he says you're a party
And life really treats you well

As a postscript, I send you some good advice
If you don't take it, the problem will be yours
Life is short, the body gets old
Find your light, yes, yes, yes
Find your light and break with your pattern (dancing)

A little ravine here, a little ravine there
Quebradita in all directions
A little ravine here, a little ravine there
And some other tap-dancing sounds

A little ravine here, a little ravine there
Quebradita in all directions
A little ravine here, a little ravine there
And some other tap-dancing sounds
