Lyrics
Un tango guapo del '900
Cruzó la sombra de mi arrabal,
Y al fin de viejo, mi pensamiento
Logró ponerse sentimental.
 
Me siento mozo, me juego entero
Le copo tangos al más varón,
Y con mi piba bailando espero
Que talle alguno mejor que yo.
 
Tango guapo que una noche en “El tambito”,
Me tiré con el “Vasquito”
Sin saber que él era el rey.
Cuántas veces tuve que jugar la vida,
Por mi honor o mi querida
En un encontrón de ley.
 
Viejo tango, esta noche quién me diera
Sólo veinte primaveras y una piba de mi flor,
Pero esa no es mi pena, sino saber que vos
Ya no sos el tango guapo,
Te pegaron un sopapo
Te hicieron maula y llorón.
English translation
A handsome tango of the '900
Crossed the shadow of my suburb,
And at last as an old man, my thoughts
Managed to become sentimental.
 
I feel handsome, I play the whole game
I play tangos to the manliest of men,
And with my dancing girl I hope
I hope she'll carve a better one than me.
 
Handsome tango that one night in "El tambito",
I fucked with the "Vasquito"
Without knowing that he was the king.
How many times I had to gamble my life,
For my honor or my dear
In a lawful encounter.
 
Old tango, tonight who would have given me
Only twenty springs and a girl of my flower,
But that is not my sorrow, but to know that you
You are no longer the handsome tango,
They slapped you in the face
They made you a maula and a crybaby.
