Does this Brazilian like me?

I recently started taking a tango class. Two weeks ago I was at a Milonga, and a gorgeous Brazilian girl came up and was like "and who is this guy…" and we danced several times that night. The next week I saw her again. We danced more. She is waaaay more close in her dancing than any of the other girls, and it turns me on. She also is really touchy, like coming up to me and rubbing her hand down my back or down my arm. (From what I’ve seen she doesn’t do this with the other guys.) Then we both kind of left at the same time, and I was going to see if she wanted to do something, and before I could she said "so you want to take a drink?" and we went and got a drink. Then I walked her home and gave her the customary two kisses. It’s one of these situations where I feel like we’re both acting like we’ve known each other for a long time, but we’ve only been around each other a couple hours. Thoughts?

You lucky bastard.

A good analogy for the situation is tango: do the moves right, enjoy it as it goes, and let things come in their time. You obviously have the chemistry worked out — the rest takes care of itself.

spanish translation2?

i need to answer it in complete sentences in spanish.

Alrededor de 1880, en Buenos Aires, capital de la Argentina, inmigrantes de Europa y África se reunían en los bares y burdeles en busca de unas copas y algo de compañía, y de sus dificultades nació el tango. La música y el baile se inspiran fuertemente en muchas naciones de inmigrantes. De África vienen los ritmos implacables de los tambores de los esclavos. De las pampas de Argentina viene la influencia de la milonga– música que combina los ritmos indios con música española antigua. El tango habla de una existencia fatal, en la que el dolor y la pena son el destino esperado. Fue Carlos Gardel el máximo exponente del tango argentino en el mundo. En 1915 el tango fue la moda en Europa, y de pronto los americanos lo bailaban. Algunas mujeres americanas comenzaron a llevar "protecciones" contra los roces demasiados íntimos de sus parejas.

1.¿En qué ciudad nació el tango?

2. ¿Cómo describiría Ud. el carácter del tango?

1. El tango nacio en Buenos Aires, capital de Argentina.

2. El tango es un baile sensual con música que combina ritmos africanos, indios y música española antigua. El tango habla de una existencia fatal, en la que el dolor y la pena son el destino esperado.

Need a translation for this song?

The song is:

Santa Maria (Del Buen Ayre)
by Gotan Project

The Lyrics are:

Hay milonga de amor
hay temblor de gotan
este tango es para vos
Hay milonga de amor
hay temblor de gotan
Hay milonga de amor
Este tango es para vos
Hay milonga de amor
hay temblor de gotan
este tango es para vos

here is the milonga of love
here is the tremor of Gotan (wordplay: tanGo)
this tango is for you

notes:
Hay: there is, it exists, it is
Milonga is a term for a place or an event (or the musical genre) where tango is danced.
Gotan = Tango => from wikipedia: "The name of the trio comes from a form of wordplay very common in Rioplatense Spanish’s argot named vesre. This wordplay involves the reversal of syllables. Thus, the word Tango becomes Gotan, the name the trio have chosen for their project."

Translating "Santa Maria Del Buen Ayre"? (spanish -> english)?

Hay milonga de amor
hay temblor de gotán
este tango es para vos
Hay milonga de amor
hay temblor de gotán
Hay milonga de amor
Este tango es para vos
Hay milonga de amor
hay temblor de gotán
este tango es para vos

THANK YOU!

Santa Maria Del Buen Ayre—it means the same thing in English :)

What does Milonga mean?

And don’t tell me that it doesn’t have a translation, or that it refers to a genre of music that’s similar to Tango… Tell me more about the genre. Perhaps, how it differs from Tango.
I mean, Tango has its tale and history. What is Milonga’s

Milonga is an Argentinian, Uruguayan and southern Brazilian form of music, as dance, as the term for the place where tango is danced. The term milonga comes from the Bantu languages of Africa, an expression that means "lyrics".

Milonga is also the term given to a tango party

Music:
The Milonga originated in the Río de la Plata area of Argentina and Uruguay, and has its roots traces its roots to the African community in Argentina and Uruguay. It was very popular in the 1870s. The Milonga was derived from an earlier style of singing known as the payada de contrapunto.

The song was set to a lively 2/4 tempo, and often included musical improvisation. Over time, dance steps and other musical influences were added, eventually giving rise to the tango. Despite 2/4 formula, rhythm is irregular. It is syncopated, consisting of 8 beats with accents on the 1st, (sometimes also 2nd) 4th, 5th and 7th beats.

Dance:
Milonga uses the same basic elements as Tango, and requires a greater relaxation of legs and body. Movement is normally faster, and pauses are not made. It is rather a kind of rhythmic walking without complicated figures, with a much more "rustic" style than Tango.

There are different styles of Milonga: Milonga Lisa (Simple Milonga), in which the dancer steps on every beat of the music; and Milonga con Traspié, in which the dancer uses Traspiés or contrapasos (changes of weight from one foot to the other and back again in double time or three steps in two beats) to interpret the music. Thus, dynamics may be danced without having to run fast or without the use of much space.
