Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Mina que fue en otro tiempo la más papa y en esas noches tangueras fue la reina del festín. Hoy no tiene pa' ponerse ni zapatos ni vestidos, anda enferma y el amigo no aportó para el . Ya no tienen sus ojazos esos fuertes resplandores y en su cara los colores se le ven palidecer. Está enferma, sufre y llora y manya con sentimiento de que así, enferma y sin más naide la va a querer. Pobre que ha tenido a la gente rechiflada y supo con la mirada conquistar una pasión. Hoy no tiene quien se arrime por cariño a su . ¡Pobre arrabalera que quedó sin corazón! Y cuando de los bandoneones se oyen las notas de un tango, pobre florcita de fango siente en su alma vibrar las nostalgias de otros tiempos de placeres y de amores, ¡hoy sólo son sinsabores que la invitan a llorar!

Mina who was once the most papa milonguera and in those tango nights she was the queen of the feast. Today she has no shoes or dresses neither shoes nor dresses, she is sick and her friend did not contribute to the bulín. Her big eyes no longer have no longer have those strong glares and in his face the colors pale on her face. She is sick, she suffers and cries and manya with feeling that this way, sick and without wind no one will love her anymore. Poor paica who has had the people reproached and knew how to conquer a passion to conquer a passion. Today she has no one to come close for affection to her catrera. Poor little paica who was left without a heart! And when from the bandoneons the notes of a tango are heard, poor little mud flower feels in her soul vibrating the nostalgia of other times of pleasures and loves, today they are only sorrows that invite her to weep!
