Lyrics

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

Un , para brindar Por la mujer que más amé, Por la que tanto he soñado Brindaré por ella. Todo pasó, todo se fue Hoy sólo son sombras de ayer, Ya no tengo más remedio Que otro beber. ¿Dónde andará la Vasca? Que fue la Más derecha que he tenido. Porque siguió sin aflojar Mi juventud que fue su amor. El recordar me apena, Que ya los tiempos No son más aquellos de antes. Por eso es que me emborracho, A ver, ¡ mozo! Traiga otro .

English · machine translation

A drink, to toast To the woman I loved the most, To the one I've dreamed of so much I'll toast to her. It's all gone, it's all gone Today they are only shadows of yesterday, I have no choice Than another drink. Where is the Vasca? She was the most The most upright I've ever had. Because she followed without loosening My youth that was her love. Remembering grieves me, That the times Are no longer those of yesteryear. That's why I get drunk, Let's see, hey, waiter! Bring me another drink.
