"Bailar pegados" (Spanish pronunciation: [bajˈlaɾ peˈɣaðos]; "Dancing Closely") is a song recorded by Spanish singer Sergio Dalma, with music composed by Julio Seijas [es] and lyrics written by Luis Gómez-Escolar [es]. It is the first single from Dalma's second studio album Sintiéndonos la piel [es], represented Spain in the Eurovision Song Contest 1991 held in Rome, and over time it has become one of his signature songs.

Background

Conception

"Bailar pegados" was composed by Julio Seijas [es] with lyrics by Luis Gómez-Escolar [es] and was recorded by Sergio Dalma for his second studio album Sintiéndonos la piel [es]. It is a romantic ballad in which Dalma sings: "dancing closely is dancing like the sea dances with the dolphins / heart to heart in just one ballroom". Dalma also recorded the song in French as "Danser contre toi" with lyrics by Pierre Grosz [fr] and Italian as "Ballare stretti" with lyrics by Paolo Limiti.^[1]

Eurovision

Televisión Española (TVE) internally selected the song as its entrant for the 36th edition of the Eurovision Song Contest. For the song to participate in the contest, it was necessary to remove a verse and a chorus so that it fit into three minutes.

On 4 May 1991, the Eurovision Song Contest was held at Cinecittà studios in Rome hosted by Radiotelevisione italiana (RAI), and broadcast live throughout the continent. In his introductory video postcard, Dalma sang Rocky Roberts' "Sono tremendo". He performed "Bailar pegados" nineteenth on the night, following Belgium's "Geef het op" by Clouseau and preceding United Kingdom's "A Message to Your Heart" by Samantha Janus. Eduardo Leiva conducted the event's orchestra in the performance of the Spanish entry.^[2]

At the close of voting, it had received 119 points, placing fourth in a field of twenty-two.^[3] It was succeeded as Spanish entry at the 1992 contest by "Todo esto es la música" by Serafín Zubiri.
