Lyrics
Español
Cortada de San Ignacio, rincón azul de mi barrio, con su farol parpadeante, donde ayer amaneció más de una vez algún cantor. Vengo de lejos pa’ verte, ¡ya ves que no te he olvidado! Cortada de San Ignacio, vuelvo a ser aquel muchacho de ayer. Junto a esa reja di mi beso primero, historia vieja, pero siempre tan nueva. En ese mármol viejo escribí aquel soneto y soñé con Mimí, una noche otoñal bajo el viejo parral. Cortada de San Ignacio sos tiro corto al recuerdo, desde esta moderna esquina, vuelvo a ver aquel pasaje feliz de mi niñez. Y noto que estas más linda, que te asentaron los años, humilde y vieja cortada, vuelvo a ser, aquel muchacho de ayer.

Cortada de San Ignacio, blue corner of my neighborhood, with its flickering streetlight, where yesterday dawned more than once a singer. I've come from far away to see you, you can see that I haven't forgotten you! Cortada de San Ignacio, I am again that boy of yesterday. Next to that fence I gave my first kiss, old story, but always so new. On that old marble I wrote that sonnet and I dreamed of Mimi, one autumn night under the old vine. Cut of San Ignacio I'm a short shot to the memory, from this modern corner, I see again that happy passage happy passage of my childhood. And I notice that you are prettier, that the years have settled you, humble and old cut, I am again, that boy of yesterday.
