Lyrics
Soy de ese tiempo sincero,
cuando nadie mezquinaba
de tomar la caña brava
sobre un estaño esquinero.
Siempre si vi soy entero,
derecho, guapo, cordial.
Y soy tosco, franco y leal,
porque mi vida refleja,
un sabor de cosas viejas,
y el alma del arrabal.

Soy milonguero de ayer,
soy del noventa.
Pa' que lo sepa señor,
tuve mis mentas.
Lindo tiempo para ver
las cosas que ahora se cuentan.
Soy milonguero de ley,
soy del ayer,
soy del noventa.

Soy del tiempo de los buenos,
soy humilde como cobre,
pa' mi un rico vale un pobre.
Siempre y cuando vaya a menos
yo no conozco el veneno
del que vive pa' enviadiar.
Y no sé qué es aflojar
cuando la suerte se aleja.
Yo soy de la guardia vieja,
pa' lo que gusten mandar.
English translation
I'm from that honest time,
when no one was stingy
to take the brave cane
on a corner tin.
Always if I saw I am whole,
straight, handsome, cordial.
And I am rough, frank and loyal,
because my life reflects,
a taste of old things,
and the soul of the suburb.

I am a milonguero of yesterday,
I am from the nineties.
Just so you know, sir,
I had my mints.
Nice time to see
the things that now are told.
I am a milonguero by law,
I'm from yesterday,
I am from the nineties.

I am from the time of the good ones,
I'm humble as copper,
for me a rich man is worth a poor man.
As long as it goes down
I don't know the poison
of the one who lives to envy.
And I don't know what it is to slacken
when luck moves away.
I am of the old guard,
for whatever you want to send.
