jealousy will drive you mad

in honor of my Baz Luhrmann paper and recent reobsession with his films, particularly Moulin Rouge...
el tango de Roxanne

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

His eyes upon your face
His hand upon your hand
His lips caress your skin
It's more than I can stand

(Roxanne) Why does my heart cry?
(Roxanne) Feelings I can't fight
You're free to leave me, just don't deceive me
And please believe me when I say I love you

I'm sure if it's right at the time
To do what you're saying
And if you have to
And if he has to
Then I'm not blaming you

En el alma se me fue
Se me fue el corazon
Ya no puedo mas vivir
Porque no te puedo convencer
Que no te vendas Roxanne

[rough translation: In the soul was to me was to me the heart No longer I can but live Because I cannot convince to you That you do not sell Roxanne to you]

(Roxanne) Why does my heart cry?
(You don't have to put on that red light)
(Roxanne) Feelings I can't fight
(You don't have to wear that dress tonight)
Roxanne (Why does my heart cry?)
You don't have to put on that red light
Roxanne (Feelings I can't fight)
You don't have to wear that dress tonight
Roxanne
Roxanne
