When they begin the beguineIt brings back the sound of music so tenderIt brings back the nights of tropical splendorIt brings back the memory evergreenAnd I'm with you once more under the starsAnd down by the shore an orchestra's playingAnd even the palms seem to be swayingWhen they begin the beguineTo live it again is past all endeavorExcept when that tune clutches my heartAnd here we are, swearing to love foreverAnd promising never to partWhat moments divine, what rapture sereneTill clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tastedAnd now when I hear people curse the chance that we wastedI know but too well what they meanSo don't let them begin the beguineLet the love that was once a fire remain an emberAnd let it sleep like the dead desire I only rememberWhen they begin the beguineJust let them begin the beguine, make them playTill the stars that were there before return above youTill I hear you whisper to me once more, "Darling, I love you"Then we'll suddenly know what heaven we're inWhen they begin the beguineSe acabó, el sol ya llegóLlegó el sol y se fue la lunaY la rumba terminóSe acabó, el sol ya llegóSe acabó el beguine, el beguineY empezó el dolorY con esa todavía me quedoSe acabó, el sol ya llegóSe acabó, el sol ya llegóSe acabó el beguine, el beguineY empezó el dolorY con esa todavía me quedoSe acabó, el sol ya llegóSe acabó, el sol ya llegóSe acabó el beguine, el beguineY empezó el dolorY con esa todavía me quedoWe'll suddenly know what heaven we're inWhen they begin the beguine
