Lyrics of Tango to Evora
She’s the most beautiful, as in the stories,
Chosen by a boy, he loves her,
But the curse is casted upon their love,
When the night falls, he will be no more.
The girl is desired, against her will
By a lustful God, the God of love.
She will be separated, by revenge.
She will be punished, because she didn’t want him.
The blood from the boy’s body,
The God will take into his power,
To hide it in the vine until the sunset.
The girl, all her life will mash,
Grapes under her feet, to find
In a grape shot, her lover.
She’s the most beautiful, as in the stories,
Chosen by a boy, he loves her,
But the curse is casted upon their love,
When the night falls, he will be no more.
