Lyrics
Barrio plateado por la Luna
rumores de milonga es toda mi fortuna.
Hay un fuelle que rezonga
en la cortada mistonga,
mientras que una pebeta
linda como una flor,
espera coqueta
bajo la inquieta luz de un farol.
Barrio, barrio,
que tenés el alma inquieta
de un gorrión sentimental.
Pena, ruego,
es todo el barrio malevo
melodías de arrabal.
Viejo barrio
perdoná si al evocarte
se me planta un lagrimón.
Que al rodar en tu empedrao
es un beso prolongao
que te da mi corazón.
Cuna de tauras y cantores,
de broncas y entreveros
de todos mis amores.
En tus muros con mi acero
yo grabé el nombre que quiero.
Rosa «La Milonguita»,
era rubia Margot
en la primera cita la paica Rita
me dió su amor.
Barrio, barrio,
que tenés el alma inquieta
de un gorrión sentimental.
Pena, ruego,
es todo el barrio malevo
melodías de arrabal.
Viejo barrio
perdoná si al evocarte
se me planta un lagrimón.
Que al rodar en tu empedrao
es un beso prolongao
que te da mi corazón.
Lyrics translation
Silver quarter by the Moon
Milonga rumors is all my fortune.
There's a bellows that resonates
in the cortada mistonga,
while a pebeta
pretty as a flower,
coquettish wait
under the Restless light of a bluff.
Neighborhood, neighborhood,
that you have a restless soul
a sentimental Sparrow.
Pity, I beg,
it's the whole malevo neighborhood.
melodies of arrabal.
Old quarter
forgive me if by evoking you
I got a tear in my face.
That when you roll on your cobblestone
it's a long kiss.
that gives you my heart.
Cradle of bulls and singers,
of broncas and interveros
of all my loves.
On your walls with my steel
I engraved the name I want.
Pink " The Milonguita»,
she was blonde Margot
on the first date the Paica Rita
he gave me his love.
Neighborhood, neighborhood,
that you have a restless soul
a sentimental Sparrow.
Pity, I beg,
it's the whole malevo neighborhood.
melodies of arrabal.
Old quarter
forgive me if by evoking you
I got a tear in my face.
That when you roll on your cobblestone
it's a long kiss.
that gives you my heart.
