Lyrics

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

Qué daría por ser joven y vivir aquellos días Que se fueron alejando y no pueden más volver, Aquellos años dichosos de las fiestas transcurridas En el patio de la casa que me viera a mí, nacer. ¿Dónde está la muchachita, esa novia que besara? Con los labios temblorosos encendidos de pasión, La que tanto yo quería y siempre he recordado Porque fue el amor primero que no olvida el corazón. ¿Dónde están los corazones de la linda muchachada? ¿Dónde están las ilusiones de aquel tiempo que se fue? Mi vieja dicha perdida Hoy estás en el olvido, Y yo que tanto he querido Siempre te recordaré. Las milongas de mi barrio al gemir de bandoneones Entre notas melodiosas de algún tango , Las pebetas sensibleras impregnadas de ilusiones Que reían y cantaban al influjo de un amor. No se ve la muchachada a la luz del farolito Comentando por las noches los idilios del lugar, Ni se escuchan los acordes de las dulces serenatas Que llenaban de emociones y nos hacían soñar.

English · machine translation

What I would give to be young and live those days That went away and can never come back, Those happy years of the holidays spent In the courtyard of the house where I was born. Where is the little girl, that bride that I kissed? With trembling lips aflame with passion, The one I loved so much and I've always remembered. Because she was the first love that the heart never forgets. Where are the hearts Of the beautiful girl? Where are the illusions of that time that went away? My old lost joy Today you are forgotten, And I who loved you so much I will always remember you. The milongas of my neighborhood to the moaning of bandoneons Between melodious notes of some tango compadrón, The sentimental pebetas impregnated with illusions Who laughed and sang to the influence of a love. You can't see the young people by the light of the lanterns Commenting at night the idylls of the place, Nor do we hear the chords of the sweet serenades That filled us with emotions and made us dream.
