Lyrics

Mañanita arrabalera sin taitas por las veredas ni minas en el balcón. Tus faroles apagados y los machos retobados en tu viejo callejón. Yo te canto envenenao y amargao hoy me separo de vos. Adiós arrabal porteño yo fui tu esclavo y tu dueño y te doy mi último adiós. (recitado) El baile 'Rodríguez Peña' el Mocho y el de la milonga porteña que nunca más volverá, carnavales de mi vida broncas tiros y al final los espiantes de las minas en aquel viejo arrabal. Madrecita, yo fui un reo y en tus brazos hoy me veo lleno de felicidad. Dime mi buena viejita dónde está mi noviecita que no la puedo olvidar. Hoy ya vuelvo arrepentido hecho más hombre y más bueno a la vida del hogar. Perdóname, que tu hijo tiene un pensamiento fijo y nadie lo hará cambiar.

English · machine translation

Mañanita arrabalera no taitas on the sidewalks nor mines on the balcony. Your streetlights off and the males frolicking in your old alley. I sing you poisoned engrupido and bitter today I part from you. Farewell arrabal porteño I was your slave and your master and I bid you my last farewell. (recited) The 'Rodríguez Peña' dance el Mocho and el Cachafaz of the Buenos Aires milonga that will never come back, carnivals of my life broncas shots and at the end the spies of the mines in that old suburb. Little mother, I was a prisoner and in your arms today I see myself full of happiness. Tell me my good old lady where is my little girlfriend I can't forget her. Today I return repentant more of a man and more of a good man to the home life. Forgive me, your son has a fixed thought and no one will make him change it.
