Lyrics
Español
Milonga, milonga, qué sola te mueres. Milonga que tus citas tienen una historia larga y una vida breve. Tus trenzas, tu talle, Chiclana y la calle, dejaron en los arrabales temas de percales, esquina y farol Tuviste el primer novio, muchachita, y después ya no te vimos más pasar para el taller. Las copas y los tangos, las repetidas citas hicieron de Esthercita otra mujer. Delfino en 'Milonguita' te evoca en su compás tu corta pollerita, tu trenza, tu percal. Después, de cuando en cuando, por la letra de un tango, supimos de tu vida, nada más. Milonga, milonga, qué sola te mueres. Milonga que tus citas tienen una historia larga y una vida breve. Ahora te lloran las criollas guitarras, y son sus acordes sonoros seis caminos de oro que te buscarán.

Milonga, milonga, how alone you die. Milonga that your dates have a long history and a short life. Your braids, your waist, Chiclana and the street, left in the suburbs themes of percales, corners and lanterns You had your first boyfriend, little girl, and then we didn't see you anymore to the workshop. The drinks and the tangos, the repeated dates made Esthercita another woman. Delfino in 'Milonguita' (Milonguita) evokes you in his compás your short pollerita, your braid, your percale. Then, from time to time, by the lyrics of a tango, we knew of your life, nothing more. Milonga, milonga, how alone you die. Milonga that your dates have a long history and a short life. Now the criollo guitars the criollo guitars and their sonorous chords are six golden roads that will look for you.
