Lyrics
Español
De mis páginas vividas, siempre llevo un gran recuerdo mi emoción no las olvida, pasa el tiempo y más me acuerdo. Tres amigos siempre fuimos en aquella juventud... Era el trío más mentado que pudo haber caminado por esas calles del sur. ¿Dónde andarás, Pancho Alsina? ¿Dónde andarás, Balmaceda? Yo los espero en la esquina de Suárez y Necochea... Hoy... ninguno acude a mi cita. Ya... mi vida toma el desvío. Hoy... la guardia vieja me grita: "¿Quién... ha dispersado aquel trío?" Pero yo igual los recuerdo mis dos amigos de ayer... Una vez, allá en Portones, me salvaron de la muerte. Nunca faltan encontrones cuando un pobre se divierte. Y otra vez, allá en Barracas, esa deuda les pagué... Siempre juntos nos veían... Esa amistad nos tenía atados siempre a los tres.

Of my lived pages, I always carry a great memory of them. my emotion does not forget them, time goes by and I remember more. We were always three friends in that youth... It was the most talked-about trio that could have walked through those southern streets. Where will you be, Pancho Alsina? Where will you be, Balmaceda? I'll be waiting for you at the corner of Suarez and Necochea... Today... no one comes to my appointment. Already... my life takes a detour. Today... the old guard shouts at me: "Who... has dispersed that trio?" But I still remember them my two friends of yesterday... Once, back in Portones, they saved me from death. There is never a lack of encounters when a poor man is having fun. And another time, back in Barracas.., I paid them that debt... They always saw us together... That friendship kept the three of us always tied the three of us together.
