Time's Lover's Guise
Agustín Crepúsculo
Tango
About
The bandoneon's mournful cry leads syncopated rhythms intertwined with legato strings, swelling into dramatic crescendos under rubato tempo that mirrors the heart's faltering pulse. Passionate vocals confront the passage of time in a lover's defiant embrace, backed by piano, violin, cello, and double bass in an intimate acoustic orchestral arrangement. This tango evokes sensual nostalgia as shadows lengthen and dances fade.
Lyrics
Shadows stretch across the floor, time begins its silent war. Your gaze holds the fire we knew, lips that parted for a sigh. Fierce, tangled, fierce and true, now the spark begins to die. Fingers trace the lines of age, passions flame in twilight's cage. Time, you thief in lovers guise, pulling us from fevered nights. In this hold we dare defy, hearts that beat against your tides. One last sway, one burning plea, claim us low, set our spirits free. Skin once flushed with urgent heat, softens under fleeting days. Every curve so bitterslip, sweet slips through calloused yearning ways. We cling to now's consuming art, as hours carve their mark apart. Pause with me, let moments bend, feel the pulse that time can't end. Time, you thief in lovers guise, pulling us from fevered nights. In this hold we dare defy, hearts that beat against your tides. One last sway, one burning plea, claim us low, set our spirits free. Though the dance must fade away, love's fierce echo claims the day. Thanks for watching!
