| Cascabelito Entre la loca alegria volvamos a darnos cita misteriosa mascarita de aquel loco carnaval. Donde estas Cascabelito, mascarita pizpireta, tan bonita y tan coqueta con tu risa de cristal. | Let's have us a rendezvous amid the mad festivity, my little mask of mystery and carnival craziness. Where did you go, little jing-a-ling. my cutie-pie maskette, my pretty, my sweet, my coquette, with your crystal little laugh. | |
| Cascabel, Cascabelito; rie, rie y no llores que tu risa juvenil tenga perfumes de tus amores. Cascabel, Cascabelito; rie, no tengas cuidado que aunque no estoy a tu lado te llevo en mi corazón. | Little bell, my little jing-a-ling. giggle away and don't cry; your laughter's youthful ring has the fragrance of your loves... Little bell, my little jing-a-ling, keep laughing without a care; you might not have me there, but I've got you in my heart. | |
| Mascarita misteriosa, por tener mi alma suspensa me ofreciste en recompensa tu boca como un clavel. Y cuando nos despedimos llenos de dulce embeleso, el ruido de nuestro beso lo apago tu cascabel. | Little mask of mystery, to keep my spirit guessing you gave me the little blessing, the carnation your mouth is... and as we came apart, full of sweet astonishment, your little bell stood still amid the noise of our kiss. |
After the countless videos, watching the performances by passing Tango teachers, performances by stage Tango dancers, sitting and absorbing Milongas, the one couple that sticks in my mind has to be T and his fiance who met through Tango in Argentina. Their seamless blending, the fact that she didn't even need to be wearing shoes and their swapping of roles. Even though I was exposed to this early on the clueless beginnings of Tango, you could already appreciate the intimacy between the two. In hindsight after a bit more experience, it becomes even clearer that, that would be the ultimate Tango experience. It's like staring at something without the tools to understand it, then later when you come back with the tools in hand, it hits you, "ah hah!" that's what it is! It's like being told, "this will be useful in life later, trust me", and staring at math sets that have no correlation with your life, until later when you're facing a job assessme...
But listening to it it sounds sad :( Tango, que contradicion!
