Lyrics
Fueron años de cercos y glicinas,
de la vida en orsay, del tiempo loco.
Tu frente triste de pensar la vida
tiraba madrugadas por los ojos...
Y estaba el terraplén con todo el cielo,
la esquina del zanjón, la casa azul.
Todo se fue trepando su misterio
por los repechos de tu barrio sur.

Vamos,
vení de nuevo a las doce...
Vamos
que está esperando Barquina.
Vamos...
¿No ves que Pepe esta noche,
no ves que el viejo esta noche
no va a faltar a la cita?...
Vamos...
Total al fin nada es cierto
y estás, hermano, despierto
juntito a Discepolín...

Ya punteaba la muerte su milonga,
tu voz calló el adiós que nos dolía;
de tanto andar sobrándole a las cosas
prendido en un final, falló la vida.
Yo sé que no vendrás pero, aunque cursi,
te esperará lo mismo el paredón,
y el tres y dos de la parada inútil
y el resto fraternal de nuestro amor...
English translation
They were years of fences and wisteria,
of life in orsay, of crazy time.
Your sad forehead of thinking about life
threw early mornings through your eyes...
And there was the embankment with all the sky,
the corner of the ditch, the blue house.
Everything was climbing its mystery
up the slopes of your southern neighborhood.

Let's go,
come again at twelve o'clock...
Come on
Barquina is waiting for you.
Come on, come on...
Don't you see that Pepe tonight,
don't you see that the old man tonight
is not going to miss the date?....
Let's go...
At last nothing is certain
and you are, brother, awake
together with Discepolín...

Death was already punctuating his milonga,
your voice silenced the goodbye that hurt us;
from so much walking around, surplus to things...
caught in an end, life failed.
I know you won't come but, although corny,
the wall will be waiting for you just the same,
and the three and two of the useless stop
and the fraternal rest of our love...
