Lyrics

Español

Viva igual que la luz, Bella cual una flor, Llena de bondad Y de candor. Es violín su cantar, Cascabel su reír, Y un zorzal su voz: Ella es así... Al cantar Quisiera yo pintar, Tu figura tan risueña Mujer porteña. Y decir A quien me quiera oír, Al son de esta milonguita: Ella es así... Cuando da su querer Es ardor y pasión, Es rubor, lealtad Y abnegación. Sin rencor, noble da Su perdón al sufrir, La más vil traición: Ella es así... Corazón de mujer Corazón maternal, Ilusión azul Calor de hogar. Es capaz, sin temor De matar y morir, Por amor filial: Ella es así...

English · machine translation

Alive as the light, Beautiful as a flower, Full of goodness And candor. Her singing is a violin, Rattlesnake her laughter, And a thrush her voice: She is thus... When she sings I would like to paint, Your laughing figure Woman of Buenos Aires. And say To whoever wants to hear me, To the sound of this milonguita: She is like this... When she gives her love It's ardor and passion, It's blush, loyalty And selflessness. Without rancor, noble he gives His forgiveness when he suffers, The vilest betrayal: She is thus... Heart of a woman Maternal heart, Blue illusion Warmth of home. She is capable, without fear Of killing and dying, For filial love: She is like this...
