Melodia de Arrabal

Silver neighborhood by the moon
whispers of tango
is all its fortune
There's a bandoneon grumbling
in the mixed street
while a young girl
pretty as a flower
waits flirtatiously
under the quiet
light of a streetlamp
Neighborhood... neighborhood
you have the restless soul
of a sentimental sparrow
Sorrows... I beg
this whole tough neighborhood
melody of the suburb!
Neighborhood... neighborhood
forgive me if when evoking you
tears fall from my eyes
that rolling on your cobblestones
is a prolonged kiss
that my heart gives you
Cradle of bulls and singers
of fights and entanglements
of all my loves
On your walls with my steel
I engraved names I love
Rosa,
