Lyrics

Español

Yo soy la milonga brava Hecha de amor y coraje, Que silbaba el malevaje De mil novecientos tres. Soy del tiempo del taquito Y la melena cuadrada, De la alpargata bordada La “yapa” y el “Chatelaine”

English · machine translation

I am the milonga brava Made of love and courage, That whistled the malevaje Of nineteen hundred and three. I am from the time of the taquito And the square mane, Of the embroidered espadrille The "yapa" and the "Chatelaine".
