Lyric El Tango De Roxanne

Ewan MacGregor & Cast

Argentinean:
[Jealousy]
Will drive you (x3)
…Mad

Roxanne, you don t have to put on that red light
Walk the streets for money
You don t care if it s wrong or if it is right.

Roxanne, you don t have to wear that dress tonight.
Roxanne, you don t have to sell your body to the night.

Christian:
His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin

It s more than I can stand

Argentinean & Backing:
Roxanne

Christian:
Why does my heart cry?

Argentinean & Backing:
Roxanne

Christian:
Feelings I can t fight

You re free to leave me
But just don t deceive me
And please
Believe me when I say
I love you

Latin Bridge:

Yo que te quiero tanto, que voy a hacer?
Me dejaste...me dejaste como una paloma
El alma se me fue; se me fue el corazon
Ya no tengo ganas de vivir porque no te puedo convencer
Que no te vendas, Roxanne

(English translation:)
And I who love you so much; what am I going to do?
You left me...you left me like a dove
My soul has left me; my heart has left me
I no longer wish to live because I cannot convince you
Not to sell yourself, Roxanne.

Argentinean:
Roxanne – you don t have to put on that red light

Christian:
Why does my heart cry?
Feelings I can t fight

Argentinean:
You don t have to wear that dress tonight

Argentinean:
Roxanne – you don t have to put on that red light

Backing:
Why does my heart cry?

Argentinean:
Roxanne – you don t have to wear that dress tonight

Backing:
Feelings I can t fight

Christian, Argentinean & Backing:
ROXANNE!
