Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Cantor de barrio, sueñas fortuna En las reuniones, con tu cantar, Y a las muchachas de la barriada Mil serenatas sabes brindar. Cantor de barrio, llevas el tango En los latidos del corazón, Mientras se mezclan tus emociones Con los fraseos del bandoneón. Noche a noche, los muchachos del café, Con tu canto se emocionan Y te alientan con palabras Que aseguran más tu fe. Y esa , que ganó tu corazón, Es la estrella que te guía Y en las noches del romance Engalana tu canción. Cantor de esquina, muchacho humilde Vives el tango con tu emoción, Y en las reuniones de tu barriada Brilla tu estampa de trovador.
English · machine translation
Cantor de barrio, you dream of fortune At gatherings, with your singing, And to the girls of the neighborhood A thousand serenades you know how to give. Cantor de barrio, you carry the tango In the beats of your heart, While your emotions mingle With the phrases of the bandoneon. Night after night, the boys of the café, With your singing are moved And encourage you with words That assure your faith even more. And that girl, who won your heart, Is the star that guides you And in the nights of romance She graces your song. Corner singer, humble boy You live tango with your emotion, And in the gatherings of your neighborhood Your troubadour stamp shines.
