"'Bailar pegados'" (; "Dancing Closely") is a song recorded by Spanish singer Sergio Dalma, written by Julio Seijas and Luis Gmez Escobar. It is best known as the entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 1991, held in Rome.
Background
The song 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" and Italian as "Ballare stretti".
Eurovision
The song was performed nineteenth on the night, following 's Clouseau with "Geef het op" and preceding 's Samantha Janus with "A Message to Your Heart". At the close of voting, it had received 119 points, placing 4th in a field of 22.
It was succeeded as Spanish entry at the 1992 contest by Serafn Zubiri singing "Todo esto es la msica".
