Lyrics

Español

Un “taco” va con sombrero Requintao de ala corta, Un gesto de “qué me importa” Sobrador y pendenciero. Pantalón “a la francesa” A cuadritos de fragacha, Que iba pidiéndole cancha Al barro del arrabal. Qué tiempo aquel que no podremos ver más Que si se fue, no volverá, Qué tiempo aquel de nuestra vieja ciudad El del matón del arrabal, Que la biaba del progreso, Igual que a cinco de queso Me lo han dejado, Y hoy se pierde lentamente, Como el sol en el poniente Triste y derrotao.

English · machine translation

A "taco" goes with a hat Short-brimmed Requintao, A "what do I care" gesture Sobrador and quarrelsome. Pants "a la française". A square of fragacha, That went begging for a field To the mud of the slum. What a time we'll never see again That if it left, it won't come back, What a time in our old city That of the bully of the slum, Than the biaba of progress, Just like a five of cheese They have left it to me, And today it is slowly lost, Like the sun in the west Sad and defeated.
