Lyrics

Español

Buenos Aires la Reina del Plata, Buenos Aires mi tierra querida; escuchá mi canción que con ella va mi vida. En mis horas de fiebre y orgía, harto ya de placer y locura, en ti pienso patria mía para calmar mi amargura. Noches porteñas, bajo tu manto dichas y llanto muy juntos van. Risas y besos, farra corrida, todo se olvida con el champán. Y a la salida de la milonga se oye a una nena pidiendo pan, por algo es que en el gotán siempre solloza una pena. Y al compás rezongón de los fuelles un bacán a la mina la embrolla, y el llorar del violín va pintando el alma criolla. Buenos Aires, cual a una querida si estás lejos mejor hay que amarte, y decir toda la vida antes morir que olvidarte.

English · machine translation

Buenos Aires the Queen of the River Plate, Buenos Aires my beloved land; listen to my song that my life goes with it. In my hours of fever and orgy fed up with pleasure and madness, I think of you, my homeland to calm my bitterness. Porteño nights, under your mantle joy and tears go hand in hand. Laughter and kisses, a long night out, all is forgotten with champagne. And at the exit of the milonga a girl can be heard begging for bread, it's not for nothing that in the gotán always sobs a sorrow. And to the rhythmic beat of the bellows a bacán (a bacán) makes the mine muddle, and the weeping of the violin painting the Creole soul. Buenos Aires, like a dear one if you are far away it is better to love you and say all your life rather die than forget you.
