|---|---|
| Viejo barrio de mi ensueño | Old neighborhood of my dream |
| El de ranchitos iguales | The one with the same little ranches |
| Como a vos los vendavales | Like the gales |
| A mi me azoto el dolor | I was hit by pain |
| Hoy te encuentro envejecido | Today I find you old |
| Pero siempre tan risueño… | But always so smiling... |
| Barrio lindo… y yo que soy… | Beautiful neighborhood… and what am I… |
| Treinta años y mira | thirty years and look |
| Mira lo viejo que estoy! | Look how old I am! |
| Mi barrio reo | my neighborhood prison |
| Mi viejo amor | my old love |
| Oye el gorjeo | hear the twitter |
| Soy tu cantor | I am your singer |
| Escucha el ruego | hear the plea |
| Del ruiseñor | nightingale |
| Que hoy que esta ciego | that today he is blind |
| Canta mejor… | Sings better… |
| Busque fortuna | seek fortune |
| Y halle un crisol: | And find a crucible: |
| Plata de luna | moon silver |
| Y oro de sol… | And gold of sun… |
| Calor de nido | nest heat |
| Vengo a buscar | I come seeking |
| Estoy rendido | I'm exhausted |
| De tanto amar… | From so much love... |
| Barrio reo, campo abierto | Prison neighborhood, open field |
| De mis primeras andanzas | of my first adventures |
| En mi libro de esperanzas | In my book of hopes |
| Sos la página mejor… | You are the best page... |
| Fuiste cuna y seras tumba | You were a cradle and you will be a grave |
| De mis liricas tristezas… | Of my lyrical sadness... |
| Vos le diste a tu cantor | You gave your singer |
| El alma de un zorzal | The soul of a thrush |
| Que se murio de amor… | That he died of love... |
