Georges Bizet Popular Song Rankings [2026] (41–50)

Pearl Diver’s Tango (Perlenfischer Tango)Georges Bizet43rank/position

The original song is the aria “Je crois entendre encore” (Nadir’s Romance) from the opera Les Pêcheurs de Perles (The Pearl Fishers) by the French classical composer Bizet.

It was arranged for a tango orchestra by Alfred Hause, a Continental tango musician from Westphalia, Germany.

While the aria’s beautiful melody is still performed today, the full opera is not often staged, and it may be that Alfred Hause’s tango arrangement is actually more widely known.

Please listen and compare it with the original.
