Kiss Of Fire
Hugh Laurie and the Copper Bottom Band Lyrics

Con este tango que es burlón y compadrito,
With this tango, mocking and sneering,

Se ató dos alas la ambición de mi suburbio.
The ambition of my suburb tied two wings together,

Con este tango nació el tango y como un grito
With this tango, the tango was born, and like a cry,

Salió del sórdido barrial buscando el cielo.
It emerged from the sordid slums, seeking the sky.

Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho cadencia
A strange spell of love made into rhythm,

Que abrió caminos sin más ley que su esperanza,
Opening paths without any law but its hope,

Mezcla de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
A mix of anger, pain, faith, and absence,

Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo juguetón.
Crying in the innocence of a playful rhythm.

Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
By your miracle of ominous notes,

Nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas y las grelas,
The paicas and grelas were born spontaneously,

Luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas
Moon in puddles, canyengue in hips,

Y un ansia fiera en la manera de querer
And a fierce desire in the way of love.

I touch your lips and all at once the sparks go flying
As I touch your lips, sparks fly everywhere,

Those devil lips that know so well the art of lying
Those deceptive lips that are skilled in the art of lying,

And though I see the danger, still the flame grows higher
Although I see the risk, the flame intensifies,

I know I must surrender to your kiss of fire
I know I must give in to the power of your passionate kiss.

Just like a torch, you set the soul within me burning
Similar to a torch, you ignite my soul within,

I must go on, I'm on this road of no returning
I have to go on, this path has no return,

And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes
And even though it burns and turns me to ashes,

My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire
My world collapses without your passionate kiss.

I can't resist you, what good is there in trying?
I cannot resist you, what is the point of trying?

What good is there denying you're all that I desire?
What is the point of denying that you are everything I want?

Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely
Since I first kissed you, my heart became entirely yours,

If I'm a slave, then it's a slave I want to be
If I am a slave, then I want to be your slave.

Don't pity me, don't pity me
Do not show me pity, do not show me pity,

Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow
Give me your lips, the lips which you only let me borrow,

Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow
Love me tonight and let the devil take tomorrow,

I know that I must have your kiss although it dooms me
I know that I need your kiss even though it consigns me to damnation,

Though it consumes me, the kiss of fire!
Even though it engulfs me, the kiss of passion!
