Sobre la de pino, tres copas servidas, El “pardo” Miranda llegó con Esther... Falta un invitado de fama mentada Y ése es Maldonado, que está por caer. El “” Nicola que los relojea, Y que de la cita conoce el por qué, Siente que la cosa se va a poner fea Cuando llegue el otro, que es guapo de ley. Ni bien Maldonado llegó hasta el umbral, El “pardo” Miranda tanteó su puñal... La noche del duelo fue mudo testigo, Su poncho de sombras cubrió a los rivales, Que en un implacable trenzar de puñales Se jugaban todo por una mujer. Silencio en la calle del drama sombrío Y dentro ´el de escuálida luz, El “” sintiendo un escalofrío Y Esther, de rodillas besando su cruz. Los perros aullaron, allá en el baldío... Rojiza la luna, la escena alumbró, Del cielo, la noche lloraba un rocío, Adiós, Esther mía, el “pardo” gimió. Después, Maldonado, el en la mano Se alzó con la moza, cruzó el callejón... Enfiló sus pasos al bajo Belgrano Y mirando al cielo, besó su .

On the pine tree, three glasses were served, The "pardo" Miranda arrived with Esther... A guest of fame is missing And that is Maldonado, who is about to fall. The "tano" Nicola who watches them, And who knows the reason for the appointment, Feels that it's going to get ugly When the other one arrives, who is handsome by law. No sooner had Maldonado reached the threshold, The "pardo" Miranda felt his dagger... The night of the duel was a mute witness, His poncho of shadows covered the rivals, Who in a relentless braiding of daggers They risked everything for a woman. Silence in the street of the somber drama And inside 'the bowling alley of squalid light, The "tano" feeling a chill And Esther, on her knees kissing her cross. The dogs howled, there in the wasteland.... Reddish the moon, the scene illuminated, From the sky, the night wept a dew, Farewell, my Esther, the "pardo" moaned. Then, Maldonado, the funyi in his hand He rose up with the wench, crossed the alley... He took his steps to the lower Belgrano And looking at the sky, he kissed his facon.
