I WALK ALONE THE STREET OF SORROW

Boulevard of broken dreams es una bellísima canción con aire de tango ambientada en el París de los años 30 escrita por Al Dubin (letra) y Harry Warren (música) que fue estrenada en 1933 y luego apareció en la película "Moulin Rouge" (1934) de Sidney Lanfield. En 1939 Frances Langford grabó esta exquisita versión.

Boulevard of broken dreams  (lyrics)

I walk along the street of sorrow
The boulevard of broken dreams
Where gigolo and gigolette
Can take a kiss without regret
So they forget their broken dreams

You laugh tonight and cry tomorrow
When you behold your shattered schemes
And gigolo and gigolette
Wake up to find their eyes are wet
With tears that tell of broken dreams

Here is where you'll always find me
Always walking up and down
But I left my soul behind me
In an old cathedral town

The joy that you find here, you borrow
You cannot keep it long, it seems
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams

The joy that you find here, you borrow
You cannot keep it long, it seems
But gigolo and gigolette
Still sing a song and dance along
The boulevard of broken dreams
