Lyrics
Recitado:
Con este ritmo compadre
El milongón se bailaba,
Con corte y medialunas,
Con taconeo y sentada...
 
Con este ritmo compadre
El milongón se bailaba,
Era una danza atrevida,
Que a los mocitos gustaba...
Con cortes y medialunas,
Con taconeo y sentada,
¡Qué lindos tiempos!
No volverán...
 
Los niños de galerita
Gallardos y elegantones,
Los taitas, fieras melenas
Violentos y compadrones.
Pero en los tangos milongas
Como en la bravas peleas,
Se entreveraban valientes
De igual a igual...
 
Si algún puñal relucía
Buscando donde anidarse,
La juventud se lucía
A puño limpio y coraje.
Eran bailongos bravíos
Donde el varón se templaba,
¡Qué lindos tiempos!
No volverán...
English translation
Recitation:
With this rhythm compadre.
The milongón was danced,
With corte and croissants,
With heel-clicking and sitting...
 
With this rhythm compadre
The milongón was danced,
It was a daring dance,
That the youngsters liked...
With cortes and croissants,
With heels and sitting,
What nice times!
They won't come back...
 
The children of galerita
Cocky and elegant,
The taitas, fierce manes
Violent and compadrones.
But in the tangos milongas
As in the brave fights,
They intermingled bravely
Equal to equal...
 
If some dagger glittered
Looking for a nesting place,
The youth showed off
With a clean fist and courage.
They were brave dancers
Where the male was tempered,
What beautiful times!
They won't come back...
