Lyrics
Soy del tiempo que se fue, con la canción,
que en Buenos Aires se oía
en la guitarra cantar, con emoción,
'Pobre mi madre querida';
cuando el mate iba y venía
detrás del pan de cremona
y era sentir un placer, pasar así,
más de un atardecer.

Aprendí del pasado a ser quien soy,
a dejar un recuerdo donde voy
y a saber que un buen amigo en la vida
vale más que lo que pueda tener;
y ayudar sin que me rindan honor
al que a mi venga a pedirme un favor.
English translation
I am from the time that went away, with the song,
that in Buenos Aires could be heard
in the guitar to sing, with emotion,
'Pobre mi madre querida' (Poor my dear mother);
when the mate came and went
behind the cremona bread
and it was a pleasure to spend more than one sunset,
more than one sunset.

I learned from the past to be who I am,
to leave a memory wherever I go
and to know that a good friend in life
is worth more than what I can have;
and to help without being honored
whoever comes to me to ask me for a favor.
