Lyrics
Yo soy
un cacho de arrabal
que no se rindió,
mi ley será seguir
sin flaquear jamás.
Un bandoneón me dio,
con su acento compadrón,
el coraje pa’ guapear.

Yo soy
aquel varón de ayer,
que hoy volví a tallar
ganando la partida,
que dieron por perdida
aquellos que me vieron aflojar.

Ayer...
por guapo me jugué.
Y hoy...
me juego como ayer.
Caí
porque se dio la mala...
copé otra vez,
y vuelvo a ser
señor y rey.

Ayer...
un “fueye” me acunó,
después,
mi queja repitió...
y hoy...
que vuelvo a ser el de antes,
su vibración
llega otra vez al corazón.
English translation
I am
a piece of suburb
who did not give up,
my law will be to continue
without ever faltering.
A bandoneon he gave me,
with its compadrón accent,
the courage to dance.

I am
that man of yesterday
that today I came back to carve
winning the game
that those who saw me
those who saw me slacken.

Yesterday...
I played for handsome.
And today...
I gamble like yesterday.
I fell
because the bad thing happened...
I copied again,
and I am again
lord and king.

Yesterday...
a "fueye" cradled me,
afterwards,
my complaint repeated...
and today...
I'm back to my old self,
its vibration
reaches my heart again.
