Lyrics
En yunta con mi cigarro
y a los labios bien prendido,
te mueres mi viejo tango
con mi canto y mi silbido.
 
Y si oigo sonar tus fuelles
en él entreverado,
chispeando en el encerado
las cien quebradas de mi emoción.
 
Salir a bailar este tango
es empezar a quererte,
es mucho decir callando
dejando que hables, tan sólo vos.
 
Tu música es Buenos Aires
valor, guapeza y dolor,
ternura y pinta compadre
querido tango de sabor.
English translation
In yokes with my cigar
and to the lips well lit,
you die my old tango
with my singing and my whistling.
 
And if I hear the sound of your bellows
in it intermingled,
sparkling on the waxwork
the hundred breaks of my emotion.
 
To go out to dance this tango
is to begin to love you,
it's a lot to say in silence
letting you speak, just you.
 
Your music is Buenos Aires
courage, courage and pain,
tenderness and pain compadre
dear tango of flavor.
