Kiss of Fire ( El Choclo) Caterina Valente with Kurt Edelhagen and His Orchestra

From 1958 A Toast to the Girls album (Decca DL 8755). The melody comes from El Choclo composed by Angel Villoldo in 1903, one of the most famous tangos ever written. 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 on along the road of no returning. And though it burns me and it turns me into ashes, My whole world crashes without your kiss of fire. I can t resist you, what good is there in trying What good is there denying you re all that I desire Since first I kissed you my heart was yours completely, If I m a slave, then it s a slave I want to be. Don t pity me, don t pity me. Give me your lips, the lips you only let me borrow; Love me tonight and
