Lyrics
Viva igual que la luz,
Bella cual una flor,
Llena de bondad
Y de candor.
Es violín su cantar,
Cascabel su reír,
Y un zorzal su voz:
Ella es así...
 
Al cantar
Quisiera yo pintar,
Tu figura tan risueña
Mujer porteña.
Y decir
A quien me quiera oír,
Al son de esta milonguita:
Ella es así...
 
Cuando da su querer
Es ardor y pasión,
Es rubor, lealtad
Y abnegación.
Sin rencor, noble da
Su perdón al sufrir,
La más vil traición:
Ella es así...
 
Corazón de mujer
Corazón maternal,
Ilusión azul
Calor de hogar.
Es capaz, sin temor
De matar y morir,
Por amor filial:
Ella es así...
English translation
Alive as the light,
Beautiful as a flower,
Full of goodness
And candor.
Her singing is a violin,
Rattlesnake her laughter,
And a thrush her voice:
She is thus...
 
When she sings
I would like to paint,
Your laughing figure
Woman of Buenos Aires.
And say
To whoever wants to hear me,
To the sound of this milonguita:
She is like this...
 
When she gives her love
It's ardor and passion,
It's blush, loyalty
And selflessness.
Without rancor, noble he gives
His forgiveness when he suffers,
The vilest betrayal:
She is thus...
 
Heart of a woman
Maternal heart,
Blue illusion
Warmth of home.
She is capable, without fear
Of killing and dying,
For filial love:
She is like this...
