Kiss of Fire Lyrics

Hugh Laurie Kiss of Fire Lyrics

'Tabbed' by Madfer39
These are the chords for the album version.
It's Hugh's version of the Louis Armstrong song, which is at the same time, a version
from an Argentinian Tango called 'El Choclo' by ngel Villoldo.
As you might know, the first verses are sung in a mix of Spanish and Argentinian slang.
Con este tango que es burln y compadrito
Se at dos alas la ambicin de mi suburbio;
Con este tango naci el tango, y como un grito
Sali del srdido barrial buscando el cielo;
Conjuro extrao de un amor hecho cadencia
Que abri caminos sin ms ley que la esperanza,
Mezcla de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo juguetn.
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
Nacieron, sin pensarlo, las paicas y las grelas,
Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas
Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer...
I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
And though I see the danger still the flame grows higher
I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire
Just like a torch you set the soul within me burning
I must go out along this road of no returning
And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire
(verse 1, verse 2, bridge)
Bridge:
I can't resist you what good is there is trying
(Por tu milagro de notas agoreras)
What good is there denying you're all that I desire
(Por tu milagro de notas agoreras)
Since I first kissed you my heart was yours completely
(Luna de charcos, canyengue en las caderas)
If I'm a slave then it's a slave I want to be...
(Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer...)
Don't pity me... don't pity me...
Give me your lips the lips you only let me borrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
It consumes me, your kiss of fire.
