Lyric
Barrio plateado por la luna,
rumores de milonga
es toda su fortuna.
Hay un fueye que rezonga
en la cortada mistonga,
mientras que una pebeta,
linda como una flor,
espera coqueta
bajo la quieta
luz de un farol.
Barrio... barrio..
que tenés el alma inquieta
de un gorrión sentimental.
Penas...ruego...
¡esto todo el barrio malevo
melodía de arrabal!
Barrio... barrio...
perdoná si al evocarte
se me pianta un lagrimón,
que al rodar en tu empedrao
es un beso prolongao
que te da mi corazón.
Cuna de tauras y cantores,
de broncas y entreveros,
de todos mis amores.
En tus muros con mi acero
yo grabé nombres que quiero.
Rosa, "la milonguita",
era rubia Margot,
en la primer cita,
la paica Rita
me dio su amor.

Lyric
Neighborhood silver-plated by the moon
milonga1 rumors
is all your fortune.
There's a bandoneon2 weeping
in the absolute misery
while a girl
pretty as a flower
is waiting coquettish
under the unquiet light of a street lamp
Neighborhood, neighborhood
you have the unquiet soul
of a sentimental sparrow.
Sorrows, prayers
all over the nasty neighborhood
(it's the) melody of the slum
Old neighborhood
forgive me if I'm letting a tear drop
whenever I recall you
which, by rolling down on your cobblestone alleys
is a lingering kiss
my heart is giving you.
Cradle of braves and singers
of fights and riots
of all my loves;
on your walls with my blade
I carve names that I love:
Rosa, the milonga girl3...
there was blonde Margot...
on our first date
that wench Rita
gave me her love.
Neighborhood, neighborhood
that you have the unquiet soul
of a sentimental sparrow.
Sorrows, prayers
all over the nasty neighborhood
(it's the) melody of the slum
Old neighborhood
forgive me if I'm shedding a tear
whenever I recall you
which, by rolling down on your cobblestone alleys
is a lingering kiss
my heart is giving you.
