Lyrics

Español

Café Dominguez de la vieja calle Corrientes que ya no queda Café del cuarteto bravo de Graciano de Leone A tus mesas caian Pirincho, Arolas, Firpo y Pacho a escuchar tus tangos Era el iman que atraía como el alcohol atrae a los borrachos Café Dominguez de la vieja calle Corrientes que ya no queda.

English · machine translation

Café Dominguez of the old Corrientes Street that no longer remains Café del cuarteto bravo of Graciano de Leone Pirincho, Arolas, Firpo and Pacho used to come to your tables to listen to your tangos. It was the magnet that attracted like alcohol attracts drunks. Café Dominguez of the old Corrientes street that no longer remains.
