Recorded by countless artists including Julio Iglesias and Gloria Estefan, this tango standard is considered one of the best Latin songs of all time. This arrangement follows the lead of Gloria's string-heavy ballad, and uses an equal blend of the original Spanish lyric and Gloria's English translation. The TB section sings the opening section in Spanish along with string quartet and piano (changed to a soprano solo in the SSA voicing), before the SA enter in a new key and language. There is a back and forth Spanish/English exchange that leads to a strong homophonic chorus, after which the string quartet is featured once more before a final climactic choral ending. This ballad is the gorgeous bilingual piece you've been waiting to program!
