When they begin the beguine 
It brings back the sound of music so tender,
It brings back a night of tropical splendor,
It brings back a memory evergreen.
I'm with you once more under the stars,
And down by the shore an orchestra's playing
And even the palms seem to be swaying
When they begin the beguine.
To live it again is past all endeavor,
Except when that tune clutches my heart,
And here we are, swearing to love forever,
And promising never, ever, never to part.
What moments divine, what rapture serene,
Till clouds came along to disperse the joys we had tasted,
And now when I hear people curse the chance that you wasted,
I know but too well what they mean
So don't let them begin the beguine 
Let the love that was once a fire remain an ember
Just let it sleep like the dead desire I only remember 
When they begin the beguine.
Or just let them begin the beguine, make them play 
Till the stars that were there before return above you,
Till I hear you whisper to me once more,
""My darling, I love you!""
Then we'll suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
When they begin the beguine
 
Se acabó el sol ya llegó
Llegó el sol y se fue la luna, y la rumba terminó
 
Se acabó el sol ya llegó
Se acabó el begin de beguine, y empezó el dolor y comenzá toda mi a me quedo
 
Se acabó el sol ya llegó
Se acabó se acabó se acabó se acabó lo que se daba y enrolla lo que quedó
Se acabó el sol ya llegó
Oye se fue la niña y se fue el amor con ella ya ahora mi alma triste quedó
 
Se acabó el sol ya llegó
El soy llegó el soy llegó y con eso, es la rumba terminó
Se acabó el sol ya llegó
Begin the beguine por la noche, por la noche que se pone la cosa buena, te lo digo yo
 
We'll suddenly know, what heaven we're in,
When they begin the beguine
