Lyrics

Español

Milonga del ochenta y tres Criolla fue; El que te puso este nombre No pudo elegir tan grande Nombre gaucho que valiera. Por eso quiero cantar Con gran placer, Esta milonga campera, Demostrando a la afición Que este cantar es noble y fiel. Milonga criolla Que siempre has de ser, Por tu noble cultura Cumpliendo un deber, Demostrando ante el mundo Tu ritmo ideal, Como danza que supo Ocupar su sitial. Es por eso que todos Te cantan así: ¡Ay, milonga criolla, tú eres la mejor! Y los grandes y chicos Te admiran sin par. ¡Ay, milonga del alma siempre te he de amar...! Milonga del ochenta y tres Que tuyo fue Este gran triunfo alcanzado, Ganando las simpatías De todos en general. Y éste, tu grande poder Fama te dio De ser culta y noble, Y por eso tú serás De norte a sur canto ideal.

Milonga del ochenta y tres Criolla was; The one who gave you this name Couldn't choose such a great Gaucho name that would be worth. That's why I want to sing With great pleasure, This country milonga, Demonstrating to the fans That this song is noble and faithful. Milonga criolla That you will always be, For your noble culture Fulfilling a duty, Demonstrating before the world Your ideal rhythm, As a dance that knew To occupy its place. That's why everyone They sing to you like this: Oh, milonga criolla! you are the best! And young and old They admire you without equal. Oh, milonga of the soul I will always love you...! Milonga of the eighty-three That yours was This great triumph achieved, Winning the sympathies Of all in general. And this, your great power Fame gave you Of being cultured and noble, And therefore you will be From north to south the ideal song.
