Melodía de Arrabal
Carlos Gardel
Arrabal Melody
Neighborhood bathed by the moon
Rumors of tango
It's all your fortune
There's a bellows that groans
In the mixed street
While a young girl
Pretty as a flower
Coquettishly waits
Under the quiet light of a streetlamp
Neighborhood, neighborhood
You have the restless soul
Of a sentimental sparrow
Sorrows, pleas
It's all the tough neighborhood
Arrabal melody
Old neighborhood
Forgive me for evoking you
A tear escapes me
That as it rolls on your cobblestones
It's a prolonged kiss
Given to you by my heart
Cradle of bulls and singers
Of quarrels and entanglements
Of all my loves
On your walls with my steel
I engraved names I love
Rosa, the little tango dancer
Margot was blonde
On the first date
The paica Rita
Gave me her love
Neighborhood, neighborhood
You have the restless soul
Of a sentimental sparrow
Sorrows, pleas
It's all the tough neighborhood
Arrabal melody
Old neighborhood
Forgive me if evoking you
A tear escapes me
That as it rolls on your cobblestones
It's a prolonged kiss
Given to you by my heart
