Arrabalero

She's the most charming girl
who spent her life in the suburb;
She's the woman who was loved
by that tough guy who embraced her.
She's the pride of the whole neighborhood,
I have a faith that is her illusion,
because she's a country girl, she's a tango dancer,
I want her man in her heart.

In a shady room
of the Buenos Aires suburb,
she met him in a dream,
she gave him her heart.
She knew he was a tough guy,
she loved him madly,
she suffered for his fortune
with holy devotion.
Now, even if he beats her,
streetwise kid,
she already knows that I love him
with all her illusion,
and that she is all his,
that his affection is hers,
that the child was theirs
from the affair.

Because he's a straight shooter, her little man
from the Puente Alsina suburb;
he risks everything for that girl
because he knows her by heart.
But if one day he deceives her
like others do with their women,
this little woman who laughs and sings
will always cry for his betrayal.
