David Belkin - Tango Jalousie ( Piano Solo) by Jacob Gade

Описание: Jacob Gade: Tango Jalousie (Jealousy) piano solo
Pianist: David Belkin

The Danish violinist and composer Jacob Gade wrote his “gypsy tango” Jalousie in 1925, for the Danish opening of the American silent film Don Q, Son of Zorro. Gade had been inspired by a newspaper account of a man who murdered his wife in a jealous passion.

The Jealousy Tango is a Gypsy Tango. It was first premiered in 1925 as a piece of music for a Zorro movie. Since then, lyrics have been added to the music. It is in 3 parts, a plaintive introduction after which a fiery Tango kicks in and then followed by a more lyrical section.

Jealousy, night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I'm under
Can only be a melody for I know no one but me
Has won your heart but when the music starts

My peace departs
From the moment they play that lovely strain
And we surrender to all its charm again
This jealousy that tortures me is ecstasy, mystery, pain

We dance to a tango of love
Your heart beats with mine as we sway
Your eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of
That soft word your cruel lips will never say

I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive
Bit it's only the tango you love

Jealousy, night and day you torture me
I sometimes wonder if this spell that I'm under
Can only be a melody for I know no one but me
Has won your heart but when the music starts

My peace departs
From the moment they play that lovely strain
And we surrender to all its charm again
This jealousy that tortures me is ecstasy, mystery, pain

We dance to a tango of love
Your heart beats with mine as we sway
Your eyes give the answer I'm dreaming of
That soft word your cruel lips will never say

I fear that the music will end
And shatter the spell it may lend
To make me believe when your eyes just deceive
Bit it's only the tango you love
