Lyrics

Español

Allá en el tiempo del jopo, peinao al agua florida, cuando era linda la vida y era mi escuela un stud, nació mi amor por los pingos con Stiletto y Surplice y ese amor echó raíces al llegar mi juventud. Las chaquetillas famosas dejaron en mis oídos frufrú de tiempos queridos que ya no pueden volver; y hoy que tengo la cabeza cubierta por tanta nieve, con los hijos de Congreve vuelvo a rejuvenecer. Milonga que peina canas y llora por San Martín, Amianto, Niobe, Porteño, Cordón Rouge y "Pipermint. Milonga que peina canas y ablanda mi corazón como Old Man y Botafogo, Rico, Lombardo y Macón. Yo vivo con los recuerdos de Floreal y Melgarejo, Mouchette, Omega, Bermejo, Mineral, Cocles o Ix y cuando llegue la hora de dar el último abrazo, me iré pensando en Payaso para morirme feliz. Milonga que peina canas y está llorando de pena por Argentino Gigena se fue sin decirle adiós; nosotros también, milonga, pensando en tiempos remotos, con muchos boletos rotos, tendremos que ver si hay Dios.

English · machine translation

Back in the time of the jopo, combed in the flowery water, when life was beautiful and my school was a stud, my love for the pingos was born with Stiletto and Surplice and that love took root when my youth arrived. The famous jackets left in my ears frufru of dear times that can no longer return; and today when my head is covered covered by so much snow, with the children of Congreve I am rejuvenated again. Milonga that combs gray hair and cries for San Martín, Amianto, Niobe, Porteño, Cordon Rouge and "Pipermint. Milonga that combs gray hair and softens my heart like Old Man and Botafogo, Rico, Lombardo and Macón. I live with the memories of Floreal and Melgarejo, Mouchette, Omega, Bermejo, Mineral, Cocles or Ix and when the time comes to give the last embrace, I will leave thinking of Clown to die happy. Milonga that combs gray hair and is crying with grief for Argentino Gigena he left without saying goodbye; we too, milonga, thinking of remote times, with many broken tickets, we'll have to see if there is God.
