Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
El duende de tu son, bandoneón, se apiada del dolor de los demás, y al estrujar tu fueye dormilón se arrima al corazón que sufre más. Estercita y Mimí como Ninón, dejando sus destinos de percal vistieron al final mortajas de rayón, al eco funeral de tu canción. Bandoneón, hoy es noche de fandango y puedo confesarte la verdad, copa a copa, pena a pena, tango a tango, embalado en la locura del alcohol y la amargura. Bandoneón, para qué nombrarla tanto, no ves que está de olvido el corazón y ella vuelve noche a noche como un canto en las gotas de tu llanto, ¡ bandoneón! Tu canto es el amor que no se dio y el cielo que soñamos una vez, y el fraternal amigo que se hundió cinchando en la tormenta de un querer. Y esas ganas tremendas de llorar que a veces nos inundan sin razón, y el trago de licor que obliga a recordar si el alma está en 'orsai', bandoneón.
English · machine translation
El duende de tu son, che bandoneón, takes pity on the pain of others, and by squeezing your sleepy bandoneon it gets close to the heart that suffers the most. Estercita and Mimí like Ninón, leaving their percale destinies at the end they wore rayon shrouds, to the funeral echo of your song. Bandoneon, today is fandango night and I can confess the truth to you, glass by glass, sorrow by sorrow, tango by tango, packed in the madness of alcohol and bitterness. Bandoneon, why name it so much, don't you see that the heart is in oblivion and she comes back night by night like a song in the drops of your tears, bandoneon! Your song is the love that was never given and the sky we once dreamed of and the fraternal friend that sank in the storm of a love. And those tremendous desires to cry that sometimes flood us without reason, and the drink of liquor that forces us to remember if the soul is in 'orsai', che bandoneón.

a version people dance tono Dances matched yet: something to listen to
The leader is Aníbal Troilo, with 94% of the 36 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.
12 more dances name this song but not which version, so no share counts them. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.
