The tango, "Gricel" by Jose Maria Contursi and Mariano Mores fits the bill.

The lyrics in Spanish and English can be found at:

The version by Anibal Troilo and Francisco Fiorentino is quite outstanding
and is suitable for social dancing. It can be found on several Troilo CDs,
including Troilo/Fiorentino, vol. 2 (Solo Tango BMG RCA).

The Mariano Mores version can be found on several CDs including the readily
available EMI compilation Buenos Aires by Night.

With best regards,
Steve (de Tejas)
