Lyrics

Sombras que ayer
Bautizo humilde del arrabal,
Guiños de luna
En cada noche, sentimental.
Sombras de tango
Dolor de herida,
Que el tiempo viejo
No respetó.
Sombras que están
Cuando el pasado
Llega en las notas
De un bandoneón.
 
Atención pongan al baile
Ha llegado el fin de fiesta,
Y al acorde de la orquesta
El “morocho” va a cantar.
Se escuchan los bandoneones,
Los violines que sollozan,
Y enredada en las parejas
La nostalgia es una queja
Que nunca se ha de olvidar.

English translation

Shadows that yesterday
Humble baptism of the slum,
Wink of the moon
In every night, sentimental.
Shadows of tango
Pain of wound,
That the old time
Did not respect.
Shadows that are
When the past
Arrives in the notes
Of a bandoneon.
 
Pay attention to the dance
The end of the party has arrived,
And to the chord of the orchestra
The "morocho" is going to sing.
The bandoneons are heard,
The violins that sob,
And entangled in the couples
Nostalgia is a complaint
That will never be forgotten.
