Lyrics
Sos la triste sinfonía
Que acunó el arrabal,
Sos la dulce melodía
La canción sentimental.
 
Te bailaron los malevos
Clavel rojo en el ojal,
Enredando en cada vuelta
Un vestido de percal.
 
Sinfonía de arrabal
Oración de los suburbios,
Sos el alma de San Telmo
Puente Alsina y Monserrat.
 
Sinfonía de arrabal
Tango lindo, bien porteño,
Taconeando está en los barrios
Con tu ritmo sin igual.
 
Alabás, comprendés,
El dolor de querer,
Alabás, enseñás
A vivir, a olvidar.
English translation
You are the sad symphony
That cradled the suburb,
You are the sweet melody
The sentimental song.
 
The malevos danced to you
Red carnation in the buttonhole,
Tangling at every turn
A percale dress.
 
Symphony of the suburbs
Prayer of the suburbs,
You are the soul of San Telmo
Alsina Bridge and Monserrat.
 
Suburban symphony
Nice tango, very porteño,
Heeled in the neighborhoods
With your incomparable rhythm.
 
You praise, you understand,
The pain of loving,
You praise, you teach
To live, to forget.
