Lyrics
Con este tango que es burlon why compadrito
Se ato dos alas la ambision de mi suburbio
Con este tango nacio el cielo why con un grito
Salio del sordido barrial buscando el cielo
Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho carencia
Que abrio caminos sin mas ley que su esperanza
Mesclas de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia
Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo jugueton
Por tu milagro de notas agoreras
Nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas why las grelas
Luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas
Why un ansia fiera en la manera de querer
Al evocarte, tango querido
Siento que tiembran las baldosas de un bailongo
Why oigo el resongo de mi pasado
Hoy que no tengo
Mas que a mi madre
Siento que llega en punta e' pie para besarme
Cuando tu canto nace al son de un bandoneon…
Lyrics translation
With this tango that's burlon why compadrito
It tied two wings the ambition of my suburb
With this tango the why sky was born with a cry
He came out of the sordid neighborhood looking for heaven
Strange spell of a love made lacking
Who opened paths with no more law than his hope
Mixtures of anger, pain, faith, absence
Crying in the innocence of a playful rhythm
For your miracle of agoreras notes
They were born without thinking the paicas why the grelas
Moon in the puddles, canyengue in the hips
Why a fierce longing in the way of wanting
By evoking you, dear tango
I feel the tiles of a bailongo shake
Why do I hear the resonate of my past
Today I don't have
More than my mother
I feel like he's on tiptoe to kiss me.
When your song is born to the sound of a bandoneon…
