Lyrics
Español
Llora mi corazón en el silencio del arrabal al ver que todo cambiado está. Honda recordación del romancesco pasado aquel que tanto amé. Adiós, Rodríguez Peña de mi alegre juventud. Rincón que al evocar me acerca al tierno bien que fuera como un astro del hermoso ensueño azul que en mi rodar incierto no olvidé y mi tango que se hermana con mi gran sentir suspira al comprender que ya no volverán las tardes y las noches que contento compartí con los muchachos de ese tiempo ideal. Tango de mis glorias, que repito con mi fiel canción, tango que sonriendo con mi diosa lo bailé. Quiero, tango lindo, que me arrulles con tu dulce voz, como aquellos días venturosos del ayer.
English · machine translation
My heart cries in the silence of the suburb to see everything changed. Deep remembrance of the romantic past that I loved so much. Farewell, Rodriguez Peña of my joyful youth. Corner that when I evoke brings me closer to the tender goodness that was like a star of the beautiful blue reverie that I did not forget in my uncertain journey and my tango, which is sister to my great sentiment sighs when I realize that the afternoons and nights the afternoons and evenings that I happily shared with the boys of that ideal time. Tango of my glories, that I repeat with my faithful song, tango that smiling with my goddess I danced it. I want, beautiful tango that you lull me to sleep with your sweet voice, like those days of yesterday.

In their words
Empezaron a tocar, estábamos así, y Pugliese estaba con el piano ahí, pero de espaldas, en Apolo, ahí en Sarmiento y Rodríguez Peña, por ahí.
They started playing, we were like that, and Pugliese was there at the piano, but with his back to us, over at Apolo, on Sarmiento and Rodríguez Peña, thereaboutsTangopedia translation
