Lyrics

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

Bandoneón arrabalero viejo fueye desinflado, te encontré como un pebete que la madre abandonó, en la puerta de un convento, sin revoque en las paredes, a la luz de un farolito que de noche te alumbró. Bandoneón porque ves que estoy triste y cantar ya no puedo, vos sabés que yo llevo en el alma marcao un dolor. Te llevé para mi pieza te acuné en mi pecho frío... Yo también abandonado me encontraba en el ... Has querido consolarme con tu voz enronquecida y tus notas doloridas aumentó mi .

English · machine translation

Bandoneón arrabalero old deflated fueye, I found you like a baby that the mother abandoned, at the door of a convent, without plaster on the walls, by the light of a little lantern that illuminated you at night. Bandoneon because you see that I'm sad and I can't sing anymore, you know that I carry in my soul marked with pain. I took you to my room I cradled you in my cold chest... I too, abandoned I found myself in the bulín... You wanted to comfort me with your hoarse voice and your painful notes increased my berretín.
