Lyrics of El loco antonio - Soledad Bravo

El loco antonio (original)

Milonga que estás pensando
Qué es lo que vas a contar
No me salgas con tristezas
Yo en eso no pienso más
Decís que yo la quería
Mire que charlás de más
Hablá del Santa Lucía
Veintiún años más atrás
Puente de fierro sobre el pajonal
Agua sin rumbo, como en el mar
La luna lo abandonaba
Y se anegaba en el barrial
El loco Antonio lo amaba más
Remos de palo y chalana
Las bajantes lo encontraban
Pensando y dele fumar
Cruzando el puente, milonga
Acordate hay un lugar
Donde las garzas rezongan
Al lado de un manantial
Pensá que en aquellos días
Que vos querés recordar
Ya estaba el Santa Lucía
Con su puente y su canal
Puente de fierro sobre el pajonal
Crecientes, como en el mar
La luna lo abandonaba
Y se anegaba en el barrial
El loco Antonio lo amaba más
Remos de palo y chalana
Las bajantes lo encontraban
Pensando y dele fumar
El loco Antonio lo amaba más
Remos de palo y chalana
Las bajantes lo encontraban
Mirando pa la canal

(translation)

milonga what are you thinking
What are you going to tell
do not leave me with sadness
I don't think about that anymore
You say that I loved her
Look how much you talk
Talk about Santa Lucia
twenty one years ago
Iron bridge over the grassland
Water aimlessly, as in the sea
The moon abandoned him
And she was drowning in the swamp
Crazy Antonio loved him more
Pole oars and barge
The downspouts found him
Thinking and give him smoke
Crossing the bridge, milonga
Remember there is a place
Where the herons grumble
next to a spring
Think that in those days
What do you want to remember?
Santa Lucia was already there
With its bridge and its channel
Iron bridge over the grassland
Rising, as in the sea
The moon abandoned him
And it was flooded in the neighborhood
Crazy Antonio loved him more
Pole oars and barge
The downspouts found him
Thinking and give him smoke
Crazy Antonio loved him more
Pole oars and barge
The downspouts found him
looking for the channel
