Lyrics

Español

Dónde estás Corrales Viejos Cuna de grandes varones, Rincón de mis ilusiones Recuerdo de mi niñez... Tus bailes con organito “La cancha de la Tapada” Y la noble muchachada Del año noventa y tres... Tus casitas coloniales Revestidas de malvones, Y tus modestos faroles Reliquias de mi arrabal. Y aquellos hombres sencillos Vestidos “a la francesa”, Requintado en la cabeza Su chamberguito oriental... Los días de fiestas patrias Allá por la calle Arena, Entre aquella gente buena Se divertían muy bien... Hasta que se anochecía La fiesta no terminaba, Y tu calle engalanaba El farol a querosén... Por Caseros, Armonía, Patagones, Zavaleta, Desfilaban las siluetas De una raza popular... Que fueron dando progresos A ese barrio populoso, Donde el hombre laborioso Te sabía respetar.

English · machine translation

Where are you Corrales Viejos Cradle of great men, Corner of my illusions Memory of my childhood... Your dances with organito "La cancha de la Tapada" And the noble crowd Of the year ninety-three... Your little colonial houses Lined with malvones, And your modest lanterns Relics of my suburb. And those simple men Dressed "French style", With their heads painted Their oriental chamberguito... The days of patriotic celebrations Back on Arena Street, Among those good people They had a good time... Until it got dark The party didn't end, And your street was decorated The kerosene lantern... Through Caseros, Armonía, Patagones, Zavaleta, The silhouettes paraded Of a popular race... That were giving progress To that populous neighborhood, Where the industrious man Knew how to respect you.

  • Parque Patricios, antes, fueron los Corrales Viejos, lo que le decían los mataderos del sur, y ahí se bailó el tango orillero.

    Parque Patricios used to be the Corrales Viejos, what they called the southern slaughterhouses, and that's where tango orillero was danced.Tangopedia translation
