Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
No hubo tan hermosa Desde el Bajo a la Barranca, Como aquella que llegaba Y se iba con el sol. Del taller fue la hormiguita Laboriosa, alegre y franca, Que a la aurora le robaba Todo el “rouge” de su arrebol. Más de un guapo prepotente Hizo ronda en su ventana, Quién la viera, los domingos Hacer guardia en el portón. Esperando, presintiendo Y ostentando muy ufana, Un jazmín prendido al pecho Custodiando al corazón. Culpa fue de aquel soñado Malandrín de sus amores, Que diciendo “triunfo” él sólo Las cuarenta le acusó. Doctorado en amoríos Le hizo ver los esplendores, De otra vida y de otro mundo Y ella, ciega, sonrió. Él le dijo: “Margarita del suburbio tan lozana, sos la estampa más porteña de Griseta y de Mimí.” Y en el pecho tembloroso De la reina suburbana, Un jazmín agonizaba Cuando ella dijo: “Sí...”
English · machine translation
There was no girl so beautiful From the Bajo to the Barranca, As the one who arrived And left with the sun. From the workshop was the little ant Laborious, cheerful and frank, That stole from the dawn All the "rouge" of her glow. More than one arrogant handsome man Made rounds at her window, Who would see her, on Sundays Standing guard at the gate. Waiting, sensing And showing off very proudly, A jasmine pinned to her breast Guarding the heart. It was the fault of that dreamed The scoundrel of her loves, That saying "triumph" he alone The forty accused him. Doctored in love affairs He made him see the splendors Of another life and another world And she, blind, smiled. He said to her: "Margarita of the suburb so lush, you are the most porteño stamp of Griseta and Mimí". And in the trembling chest Of the suburban queen, A jasmine was dying When she said: "Yes..."
