Lyrics
Un silbido, en la noche,
es la llamada que se escucha
en el arrabal.
Una pausa, se abre una puerta,
sale una piba
la de la señal.
 
De vereda a vereda,
la contraseña se desliza
en la oscuridad.
El silbido, clave porteña,
que ella esperaba
con tanta ansiedad.

(silbido) 
Parece que dice así:
"Salí, mi piba, salí"
Llamado de amor porteño.
Es la romanza sin palabras
hecha tango,
por eso tiene a veces, ecos
de un dolor.
 
(silbido) 
Parece que dice así:
"Salí, mi piba, salí"
Es un llamado de amor...
English translation
A whistle, in the night,
is the call heard
in the suburb.
A pause, a door opens,
a girl comes out
the one with the signal.
 
From sidewalk to sidewalk,
the password slips
in the darkness.
The whistle, porteña key,
that she was waiting for
so anxiously awaited.

(whistle)
It seems to go like this:
"Salí, mi piba, salí."
Porteño love call.
It is the wordless romanza
made tango,
that's why it sometimes has echoes
of a pain.
 
(whistling)
It seems to go like this:
"Come out, my girl, come out."
It is a call of love...
