Lyrics

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

Paredón, tinta roja en el gris del ayer... Tu emoción de ladrillo feliz sobre mi callejón con un borrón pintó la esquina... Y al botón que en el ancho de la noche puso el filo de la ronda como un broche... Y aquel buzón carmín, y aquel fondín donde lloraba el su rubio amor lejano que mojaba con bon vin. ¿Dónde estará mi arrabal? ¿Quién se robó mi niñez? ¿En qué rincón, luna mía, volcás como entonces tu clara alegría? Veredas que yo pisé, malevos que ya no son, bajo tu cielo de raso trasnocha un pedazo de mi corazón. Paredón tinta roja en el gris del ayer... Borbotón de mi sangre infeliz que vertí en el malvón de aquel balcón que la escondía... Yo no sé si fue negro de mis penas o fue rojo de tus venas mi sangría... Por qué llegó y se fue tras del carmín y el gris, fondín lejano donde lloraba un sus nostalgias de bon vin.

English · machine translation

Wall, red ink in the gray of yesterday... Your emotion of happy brick on my alley with a blur painted the corner... And to the button that in the width of the night put the edge of the round like a brooch... And that carmine mailbox, and that fondin where the tano wept his faraway blond love that he soaked with bon vin. Where is my suburb? Who stole my childhood? In what corner, my moon will you pour as you did then your clear joy? Sidewalks that I trod, evil men who are no more, under your satin sky a piece of my heart of my heart. Wall red ink in the gray of yesterday... Gush of my unhappy blood that I poured on the mallow of that balcony that hid her... I do not know if it was black from my sorrows or was it red from your veins my bloodletting... Why did it come and go after the crimson and the gray, distant fondin where a tano wept his nostalgia for bon vin.

a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to

The leader is Aníbal Troilo, with 88% of the 114 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

1 more dance names this song but not which version, so no share counts it. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.
