Candombe Para Gardel

I have a candombe for Gardel
Beautiful memories I have of him
And I speak of a time that was very gray
With poverty close to me
Only his voice made me happy

Beautiful hat Gardel had
White smile like a carnation
How many candombes I wanted to hear
Interpreted by Don Gardel
But it couldn't be

The boys from the street gang
Who feel the candombe really well
We sit down to sing on the sidewalk
With drums, some tango by Gardel
And a girl passing by
Watching the drum
Softly she said to me
How hot it is in April
