Sway (Quien Sera)
Dean Martin · Classic Tracks [2009]
Dance with me, make me sway
Like a lazy ocean hugs the shore
Hold me close, sway me more.
Like a flower bending in the breeze
Bend with me, sway with ease
When we dance you have a way with me
Stay with me, sway with me.
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak.
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now.
Other dancers may be on the floor
Dear, but my eyes will see only you
Only you have the magic technique
When we sway I go weak.
I can hear the sounds of violins
Long before it begins
Make me thrill as only you know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now
You know how
Sway me smooth, sway me now...

As a Spanish-language adaptation of the English hit "Who's Sorry Now?", the track showcases Martin's signature relaxed delivery and sophisticated phrasing, blending traditional pop sensibilities with a touch of Latin flair. The song became a staple of his extensive discography, appearing on various compilations that celebrate his career as one of the most influential vocalists of the era. Its enduring appeal lies in its melodic simplicity and Martin's ability to convey warmth and nostalgia without relying on complex instrumentation.
