Lyrics

Español

Tiempos viejos y compadres de mi vida cadenera que ya no volverán mis años a gozar. Qué habrá sido de esa barra, bravucona y trensillera, que tanto dio que hablar por su guapear. Adiós, amigos de entonces, ya estamos viejos de tanto andar. Marcando una candombeada fue luciendo medias lunas y entre cortes y quebradas iba el tango provocador. Me acuerdo de aquellas farras que entre fueyes dormilones, rimaban los corazones un pasaje sentimental. Siglo de oro de ese tiempo en que el ñato Monteagudo, borracho de pernod, se quiso suicidar. Y del loco Puentecito y del viejito Lozano No los he vuelto a ver, ¿dónde andarán? Adiós, amigos de entonces, ya estamos viejos de tanto andar.

English · machine translation

Old times and compadres of my chain life that will never return my years to enjoy. What will have become of that bar, bravucona and trensillera, that gave so much to talk about for its guapear. Farewell, friends of that time, we are already old from so much walking. Marking a candombeada was wearing half moons and between cortes and quebradas went the provocative tango. I remember those farras that among the sleepy fueyes rhymed the hearts a sentimental passage. Golden century of that time when the ñato Monteagudo drunk on pernod, wanted to commit suicide. And of the crazy Puentecito and old Lozano I have not seen them again, Where are they? Farewell, friends from back then, we are already old from so much walking.
