Argañaraz

Tiempos viejos y compadres
de mi vida cadenera
que ya no volverán
mis años a gozar.
Qué habrá sido de esa barra,
bravucona y trensillera,
que tanto dio que hablar
por su guapear.

Adiós, amigos de entonces,
ya estamos viejos de tanto andar.

Marcando una candombeada
fue luciendo medias lunas
y entre cortes y quebradas
iba el tango provocador.
Me acuerdo de aquellas farras
que entre fueyes dormilones,
rimaban los corazones
un pasaje sentimental.

Siglo de oro de ese tiempo
en que el ñato Monteagudo,
borracho de pernod,
se quiso suicidar.
Y del loco Puentecito
y del viejito Lozano
No los he vuelto a ver,
¿dónde andarán?

Adiós, amigos de entonces,
ya estamos viejos de tanto andar.

English translation

Old times and compadres
of my chain life
that will never return
my years to enjoy.
What will have become of that bar,
bravucona and trensillera,
that gave so much to talk about
for its guapear.

Farewell, friends of that time,
we are already old from so much walking.

Marking a candombeada
was wearing half moons
and between cortes and quebradas
went the provocative tango.
I remember those farras
that among the sleepy fueyes
rhymed the hearts
a sentimental passage.

Golden century of that time
when the ñato Monteagudo
drunk on pernod,
wanted to commit suicide.
And of the crazy Puentecito
and old Lozano
I have not seen them again,
Where are they?

Farewell, friends from back then,
we are already old from so much walking.
