El choclo (English spelling)

Japanese: エル・チョクロ(英語表記)El choclo
El choclo (English spelling)
The title of an Argentine tango song. The title means "corn" in Spanish. The composer was Ángel Bujoldo. It was said to have been composed in 1905, but later documents were found indicating it was composed in 1903. There is no doubt that it was the first tango song to become known in Europe and Japan. In America, English lyrics were added in 1952, and it became a hit under the title "Kiss of Fire." It is a crisp and familiar song, typical of early tango, and is still often performed today. [Nakamura Toyo]

Japanese:
アルゼンチン・タンゴの曲名。題名はスペイン語で〈トウモロコシ〉の意。作曲者はアンヘル・ビジョルド。1905年作曲といわれていたが,その後1903年とする資料が見つかった。ヨーロッパや日本で最初に知られたタンゴの曲であることはまちがいない。アメリカでは52年に英語の歌詞がつけられ《キス・オブ・ファイア》の題名でヒットした。いかにも初期のタンゴらしく歯切れのいい親しみやすい曲で,今でもよく演奏される。【中村 とうよう】
