Lyrics

Español

Viejo Buenos Aires... ¡cómo has cambiado, rincón de mis amores!... Sueño de tus albores que hoy despierta en tu grandeza y en tus honores, que escondieron la tristeza de tus cantores que ya no se oyen más... ¿Dónde estarán?... ¡Oh!... ¡mi Buenos Aires!... Creciste en luces como buscando el cielo... Tan solo te quedó del tiempo aquel, la voz de Carlos Gardel. Ayer rodaba en tus tangos el fango de Villa Crespo y Pompeya. El tiempo nada dejó y en tu brillar de estrellas todo cambió. ¡Calle Corrientes!... dulces musas de bohemia, quiero amarrado vivir a tu querer hasta morir. ¡Mi Buenos Aires, cuando te vuelva a ver!

English · machine translation

Old Buenos Aires... how you've changed, corner of my loves!... Dream of your first light that today wakes in your greatness and in your honours, that hid away the sadness of your singers who are heard no more... Where can they be?... Oh!... my Buenos Aires!... You grew in lights as if searching for the sky... All that's left you of that time, is the voice of Carlos Gardel. Yesterday the mud of Villa Crespo and Pompeya rolled in your tangos. Time left nothing and in your shining with stars everything changed. Corrientes street!... sweet muses of bohemia, I want to live moored to your loving until I die. My Buenos Aires, when I see you again!
