Lyrics
Milonga 1939
Al son de tu majestad
Hoy pasar te vi
Por mi gran ciudad
Y en vos descurbí
Que la copia sos
De una que olvidé
Y que, como vos
Porteña fue…
Sos la flor de Buenos Aires
Porteñita primorosa
Digna nieta de la bella
Que paseaba majestuosa
En aquella gran aldea
De ventanas coloniales
Y patrullas federales
Sos la flor de Buenos Aires
Porteñita idolatrada
Copia fiel de aquella estampa
Que hace tiempo que se fue
Lyrics translation
Milonga 1939
To the sound of Your Majesty
I saw you pass by today
For my big city
And in you I neglected
That copy sos
One I forgot
And that, like you
Porteña was…
You are the Flower of Buenos Aires
Exquisite porcupine
Worthy granddaughter of the beautiful
Who walked majestically
In that great village
Of colonial Windows
And federal patrols
You are the Flower of Buenos Aires
Idolized little lady
Faithful copy of that print
That he's long gone
