El porteño

Progress is changing
With its enormous battle,
The customs and things
Of national life.
 
The memory remains
Of the past of the outskirts,
With its tangos and milongas
It is necessary to renew.
 
To dance the milongón,
Let's dance the milongón,
Close together the bodies,
And shining eyes
A romance of emotion.
 
A bailar el milongón,
To dance the milongón,
That generates a feeling,
New dance is this joy
To the beat of the bandoneon.
