Lyrics

Español

Te vistieron de etiqueta Pa´ lucirte en los salones, Y después que te quitaron Tu pañuelo compadrón. Solamente te dejaron Que llevaras en la oreja, Como en los tiempos viejos Un clavel rojo punzó. Milonga, milonga mía Repique del corazón, Tu compás es como un rito Que modula el bandoneón. Milonga, vieja milonga Sos chamuyo y emoción, Te impusieron los muchachos A fuerza de corazón.

English · machine translation

They dressed you up To show you off in the salons, And after they took away Your compadron handkerchief. They only let you To wear in your ear, As in the old days A red pointed carnation. Milonga, my milonga The chime of the heart, Your beat is like a rite That the bandoneon modulates. Milonga, old milonga You are chamuyo and emotion, You were imposed by the boys By force of heart.
