Lyrics
Mi viejo Parque Patricios
Querido rincón porteño,
Barriada de mis ensueños
Refugio de mi niñez.
 
El progreso te ha cambiado
Con su rara arquitectura,
Llevándose la hermosura
De tu bondad y sencillez.
 
Cuántas noches de alegría
Al son de una serenata,
En tus casitas de lata
Se vio encender el farol.
 
Y al vibrar de las vigüelas
El taita de ronco acento,
Hilvanaba su lamento
Sintiéndose trovador.
English translation
My old Parque Patricios
Dear corner of Buenos Aires,
Neighborhood of my dreams
Refuge of my childhood.
 
Progress has changed you
With its strange architecture,
Taking away the beauty
Of your kindness and simplicity.
 
How many nights of joy
To the sound of a serenade,
In your little tin houses
The lantern was lit.
 
And to the vibration of the beams
The taita with a hoarse accent,
Wound his lament
Feeling like a troubadour.
