Lyrics
Español
Aunque me dé la espalda de cemento, me mire transcurrir indiferente, es ésta mi ciudad, ésta es mi gente... y es el lugar donde a morir, me siento. ¡Buenos Aires!... Para el alma mía no habrá geografía mejor que el paisaje... ...de tus calles, donde día a día me gasto los miedos, las suelas y el traje... No podría... vivir con orgullo, mirando otro cielo que no fuera el tuyo, porque aquí me duele un tango y el calor de alguna mano ¡y me cuesta tanto el mango que me gano!... Porque soy como vos, que se niega o se da; ¡te proclamo, Buenos Aires, mi ciudad! Aunque me des la espalda de cemento, me mires transcurrir indiferente; ¡te quiero!.... Buenos Aires, y a tu gente,, y entre tu gente, sin querer, te encuentro, me encuentro... Porque soy como vos, que se niega o se da; ¡te proclamo, Buenos Aires, mi ciudad!
English · machine translation
Though you turn your back of concrete on me, and watch me pass, indifferent, this is my city, these are my people... and this is the place where I feel I'll die. Buenos Aires!... For this soul of mine there'll be no geography finer than the landscape... ...of your streets, where day after day I wear out my fears, my shoe leather and my suit... I couldn't... live with any pride, looking at a sky that wasn't yours, because here a tango hurts me and the warmth of somebody's hand and the wage I earn costs me so much!... Because I'm like you, who either refuses or gives; Buenos Aires, I proclaim you my city! Though you turn your back of concrete on me, and watch me pass, indifferent; I love you!... Buenos Aires, and your people, and among your people, without meaning to, I find you, I find myself... Because I'm like you, who either refuses or gives; Buenos Aires, I proclaim you my city!
