Lyrics
Tango compadrón, sentimental
Vibra en tu canción el bien y el mal,
Milonga porteña, sos como la dueña
De mis sueños de cristal.
 
Te sigue un viejo amor que siempre está
En nuestro dolor y no se va,
Y hace que el recuerdo, sea triste y lerdo
Como la embriaguez de tu compás.
 
Sos en mi ilusión
De mi luz que no se apaga,
Y en mi corazón
Una voz callada y vaga.
Que como el alcohol
Se me sube a la cabeza,
Y entonces mi tristeza
Se entibia como el sol.
 
Yo te veo andar
Como nombre a flor de labios,
Para acompañar
Una pena o un agravio.
Y en la cerrazón
De la vida que se sueña
Sos, milonga porteña
Rocío de emoción.
English translation
Tango compadrón, sentimental
Vibrates in your song the good and the bad,
Milonga porteña, you are like the mistress
Of my crystal dreams.
 
You are followed by an old love that is always
In our pain and does not leave,
And makes the memory, sad and dull
Like the drunkenness of your compass.
 
You are in my illusion
Of my light that does not go out,
And in my heart
A silent and vague voice.
That like alcohol
It goes to my head,
And then my sadness
It warms up like the sun.
 
I see you walking
Like a name on my lips,
To accompany
A grief or a grievance.
And in the closed mindedness
Of the life that is dreamed
You are, milonga porteña
Dew of emotion.
