Lyrics

Español

Yo soy de Parque Patricios he nacido en ese barrio, con sus chatas, con su barro… En la humildad de sus calles con cercos de madreselvas aprendí a enfrentar la vida… En aquellos lindos tiempos del percal y agua florida, con guitarras en sus noches y organitos en sus tardes. Yo soy de Parque Patricios vieja barriada de ayer… Barrio mío… tiempo viejo… Farol, chata, luna llena, viejas rejas, trenzas negras y un suspiro en un balcón… Mayorales… cuarteadores… muchachadas de mis horas, hoy retornan al recuerdo que me quema el corazón. Hoy todo, todo ha cambiado en el barrio, caras nuevas y yo estoy avejentado… Mis cabellos flor de nieve y en el alma mil nostalgias soy una sombra que vive… Recordando aquellos tiempos que su ausencia me revive, de mi cita en cinco esquinas… y de aquellos ojos claros. Yo soy de Parque Patricios evocación de mi ayer…

English · machine translation

I am from Parque Patricios I was born in that neighborhood, with its cars, with its mud... In the humility of its streets with honeysuckle fences I learned to face life... In those beautiful times of the percal and flowery water, with guitars in its nights and little organs in their afternoons. I am from Parque Patricios old neighborhood of yesterday... My neighborhood... old time... Lantern, bedpan, full moon, old railings, black braids and a sigh in a balcony... Majorales... quartermasters... the girls of my times.., today they return to the memory that burns my heart. Today everything, everything has changed in the neighborhood, new faces and I am old... My hair is a snowy flower and in my soul a thousand nostalgias I am a shadow that lives... Remembering those times that their absence revives me, of my rendezvous at five corners... and of those clear eyes. I am from Parque Patricios evocation of my yesterday...
