Lyrics
Al son de tu majestadhoy pasar te vipor mi gran ciudad,y en vos descurbíque la imagen sosde una que olvidé,y que, como vos,porteña fue...Sos la flor de Buenos Aires,porteñita primorosa,digna nieta de la bellaque paseaba majestuosa,en aquella gran aldeade ventanas colonialesy patrullas federales.Sos la flor de Buenos Airesporteñita idolatrada,copia fiel de aquella estampaque hace tiempo que se fue.Sos la flor de la ciudadtu faz heredóla serenidadde la que pasó.Vos me hacés volveral pasado aquelde mi amor de ayer,sos copia fiel.
English translation
To the sound of your majestytoday I saw you passthrough my great cityand in you I discoveredthat you are the imageof one I forgot,and who, like you,porteña was...You are the flower of Buenos Aires,porteñita primorosa,worthy granddaughter of the beautifulwho strolled majesticallyin that great villageof colonial windowsand federal patrols.You are the flower of Buenos Airesidolized porteñita,faithful copy of that picturethat is long gone.You are the flower of the cityyour face inheritedthe serenityof the one that passed away.You make me returnto the pastof my love of yesterday,you are a faithful copy.
