Pájaro ciego · Aníbal Troilo · 1941 was sung by Amadeo Mandarino and Francisco Fiorentino.† Pájaro ciego · Aníbal Troilo · 1941 is a tango.† Pájaro ciego · Aníbal Troilo · 1941 lasts 03:02.† Pájaro ciego · Aníbal Troilo · 1941: Played first in the old CD transfer, with a fast echo and the first chord missing, then in the Tango Tunes transfer. The only Fiorentino-Marino duet. and The Tango Tunes transfer with the missing opening chord restored; the lyric compares a caged songbird to someone not free in love.†
