Lyrics

Español

Un mate y un beso, así me despierta, me da su buen día con voz celestial. Después me acompaña, mimosa, a la puerta sonríen sus ojos mientras dice chau. Sus labios no saben jamás de reproches yo estoy, para ella, siempre en la niñez todo me perdona, hasta aquella noche que por ciertas cosas, yo me emborraché. Viejecita de mi vida, tu querer es dulce nido, allí no hay pena ni olvido todo es, ternura y amor. Si Dios me dejó, por suerte, tu querer es como un sol que nunca tu corazón quiera apagarlo la muerte. Este tango, vieja mía, este tango es para vos. Un mate y un beso recibo a la vuelta, prepara la cena con una canción. La ropa limpita sobre mi catrera, cepillado el saco luciendo una flor. Por noble y por buena, por santa y divina, la llevo metida en el corazón. Mi vieja, muchachos, y todas las viejas, son todas iguales... ¡un cacho de Dios!

English · machine translation

A maté and a kiss, that's how she wakes me, she gives me her good morning with a heavenly voice. Then she goes with me, tenderly, to the door her eyes smile while she says goodbye. Her lips never know reproaches I am, for her, always in childhood she forgives me everything, even that night when over certain things, I got drunk. Dear old woman of my life, your loving is a sweet nest, there's no sorrow or forgetting there everything is tenderness and love. If God left me, by good fortune, your loving is like a sun may death never want to put your heart out. This tango, my old mother, this tango is for you. A maté and a kiss I get on coming back, she makes the supper with a song. My clean clothes on my cot, my jacket brushed and showing a flower. For being noble and good, for being holy and divine, I carry her tucked inside my heart. My old mother, lads, and all the old mothers, they're all the same... a piece of God!
