Lyrics

Español

Milonga del tiempo guapo, milongón de rompe y raja, la bulla del empedrado va marcando tu canción; soy porteño del 80 y al compás de tu canyengue desfilan por mi memoria los recuerdos en montón. Te conocí en los fortines que cuidaban la frontera reclamando los amores de una china cuartelera. Animando las retretas del Parque de Artillería y en la barriada bravía de las Barracas del Sur. Milonga del tiempo guapo, milongón de los milicos, de “kepises” requintados y bombachas de carmín; con tu música sencilla fuiste ley de los porteños, grito de los cuarteadores y alma del piringundín. Te conocí en los corrales de los viejos Mataderos, hecha jerga en los quillangos del recao de un forastero. tu canto fue la corneta del cochero del tranvía y el Palermo de avería tu escuela sentimental.

English · machine translation

Milonga del tiempo guapo, milongón de rompe y raja, the noise of the cobblestone is marking your song; I am a porteño of the 80's and to the beat of your canyengue memories parade through my memory in heaps. I met you in the forts that guarded the border claiming the love of a Chinese barracks girl. Cheering the retretas at the Artillery Park and in the brave neighborhood of the Barracas del Sur. Milonga of the handsome weather, milongón of the milicos, of "kepises" and carmine pants; with your simple music you were the law of the porteños, shout of the "cuarteadores" and soul of the "piringundín". I met you in the corrals of the old Mataderos, made slang in the quillangos of a stranger's recao. your song was the bugle of the coachman of the streetcar and the Palermo de avería your sentimental school.
