Está mirando el cielo desolado tu historia de ladrillos y portón, el corazón sencillo, lastimado, con un perfil de tango y corralón... Tal vez con tu dolor arrinconado te vio en la calle vieja el paredón y estás en esa esquina del pasado al lado de la ochava y del buzón. Patio mío... donde mama me cebaba y el recio trenzaba cada noche un desafío... Patio mío, de la ropita colgada, de la barra que silbaba y el zabalaje bravío. Patio mío... borracho de caña fuerte yo sé que un día te irás... Pero venciendo a la suerte te iré a buscar a la muerte para no dejarte más... Te añoran los compadres, faja y lengue. Te llora el sentimental... Tanguea entre las sombras su canyengue la pálida pollera de percal... Malevo que en la esquina malherido desangra entre ladrillos un malvón. Para salvarte, patio, del olvido te reza su responso un bandoneón.

English · machine translation

It's looking at the desolate sky your history of bricks and gate, the simple, wounded heart, with a profile of tango and corralón... Perhaps with your pain in a corner the wall saw you in the old street and you are in that corner of the past next to the ochava and the mailbox. My courtyard... where mom used to feed me and the tough tano braided every night a challenge... My backyard, of the hanging clothes, of the whistling bar and the brave zabalaje. My yard... drunk with strong cane I know that one day you will leave... But overcoming luck I'll go to look for you in death to never leave you again... The compadres long for you, faja and lengue. The sentimental payador cries for you... Tanguea between the shadows his canyengue the pale percale skirt... Malevo that in the corner badly wounded bleeds among bricks a malvón. To save you, patio, from oblivion a bandoneon recites its response to you.
