Lyric
Buenos Aires tiene
De noche y de día,
Mujeres tan lindas
Que no las cambiaría.
Sin hablar de más
Ni despreciar a las inglesas,
Y sin humillar ..............
Por las francesas.
Buenos Aires tiene
Mujeres tan lindas,
Que uno ya pierde la razón
Y da el corazón.
Soy el canyengue
De esta milonga,

Porteña linda
No hay quién te pise el poncho,
Ayer creí que por Maipú y Tucumán
Iba a morir de amor.

Lyric
Buenos Aires has
Night and day
Women so cute
That I wouldn’t change
•
Not to mention
Neither to look down on the English,
And not to humiliate ..............
The French.
Buenos Aires has
Women so beautiful,
That they can make you lose your mind
And your heart.
I am the canyengue*
Of this milonga,
Orchestra ............... ................

Buenos Aires
No one can hold a light to them,
Yesterday I thought that through Maipú and Tucumán*
It was going to die of love.
*Canyengue - a particular style of early suburban tango before it was formalised for the salons.
*Maipú and Tucumán – streets in Buenos Aires
