Lyrics

Fondín de pedro mendoza
Que sos el alma del puerto
En cada mesa las copas
Cuentan la historia de mi pasión
La ronca voz de un borracho
Le canta el alma a su diana
Como en aquella mañana
Brumosa y triste que te deje
Diez años son que una noche
Borracho de odio y de vino
Quise perder los destinos
Y frente a frente me la encontre
No pude más y vencido
Contra esa puerta yo la mate
Y desde entonces ando rodando
Sin fe, sin patria, sin esperanza
Cambie de nombre cambie de cara
Porque no pude no cambie el alma
Y como entonces, serenamente
Miro tus lineas que me facinan
Fondín del puerto, mi único amigo
Sos el testigo de mi dolor
Fondín, aquí nació el amor
Que yo por culpa de un traidor perdi

Lyrics translation

Fondin de pedro mendoza
That you are the soul of the port
On each table the glasses
They tell the story of my passion
The hoarse voice of a drunkard
She sings the soul to her diana
Like that morning
Misty and sad to leave you
Ten years is one night
Drunk with hate and wine
I wanted to lose the fates
And face to face I found her
I could no more and beat
Against that door I killed her
And since then I've been rolling
No faith, no homeland, no hope
Change name change face
Because I couldn't not change the soul
And as then, serenely
I look at your lines that touch me
Harbor holster, my only friend
You are the witness of my pain
Fondin, here was born love
That I lost because of a traitor
