Lyrics

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

Con la milonga la voy de igual a igual porque también soy milonga... Nací en un barrio sencillo y y me fajaron al son del bandoneón. Cuando hubo bronca entre guapos no siempre el más taura quedaba de capo. Se caminaba con aire sobrador, se chamuyaba al revés por diversión y era el piropo una industria nacional florida y sentimental. Con la milonga la voy de igual a igual... Somos del mismo arrabal. Vamos subiendo la cuesta que arriba la noche se viste de fiesta; vamos que arrullan los fueyes y al ritmo de un tango recuerdos nos llueven... Veo pasar a Don Juan y El y a El Entrerriano montando El pangaré, con La Morocha argentina y la casquivana Ivette... Con la milonga la voy de igual a igual: yo soy porteño de ley. En un conlvoy de San Telmo florecí entre perfumes de rosas y jazmín y no hubo noche de plata que no me prendiera a la serenata. Por amistades no me pude quejar —desde el más taura al shusheta más — y pa'bailar fue lo mismo en el salón que el patio del corralón... Con la milonga la voy de igual a igual... Somos del mismo arrabal.

English · machine translation

With the milonga I go on equal terms because I am also a milonga... I was born in a simple and loving neighborhood and I was fajaron to the sound of the bandoneon. When there was a fight between handsome men not always the toughest one was the boss. People walked around with an air of sobriety, people flirted backwards for fun. and flirting was a national industry and sentimental. With the milonga I go on equal terms... We are from the same suburb. Let's go up the hill that up the night dresses up for a party; let's go that the fueyes coo and to the rhythm of a tango memories rain down on us... I see Don Juan and El Cachafaz passing by and El Entrerriano riding El pangaré, with La Morocha argentina and the casquivana Ivette... With the milonga I go on equal terms: I am a porteño by law. In a conlvoy of San Telmo I blossomed among perfumes of roses and jasmine and there was no silver night that I did not to the serenade. For friendships I could not complain -from the most taura to the most bacán shusheta- and for dancing it was the same in the ballroom as the courtyard of the corralón... With the milonga I go on equal terms... We are from the same suburb.
