Lyrics
Dieron las doce, pausadamente
Triste y doliente en un reloj,
Sonó a lo lejos, como apagada
Larga pitada de algún botón.
Ladraba un perro mientras la luna
Inoportuna, se escabulló,
Y en una reja, con voz quebrada
La serenata puso su son.
 
Y en el llorar de un tango, sentimental y triste
El arrabal se viste de no sé qué amargura.
Y agradeciendo el gesto, una moza en la ventana
Brinda al cantor la grana de un encendido clavel.
 
Pasaron años aquella reja
Que oyó la queja del buen amor,
Es hoy la entrada regia y bacana
De una ventana todo esplendor.
Las viejas cuentan que del pasado
Solo ha quedado la tradición,
Murió la piba y el mozo un día
Bajo la reja se suicidó.
 
Y las viejas del barrio, cuentan a su manera,
[...] como una mancha roja,
Igual que los claveles con que ella agradecía
La fiel galantería de su poeta cantor.
English translation
Twelve o'clock struck, slowly
Sad and mournful in a clock,
Sounded in the distance, as if muffled
Long beeping of some button.
A dog barked while the moon
Unwelcome, slipped away,
And in a grating, with a broken voice
The serenade set its sound.
 
And in the weeping of a tango, sentimental and sad
The suburb is dressed in I don't know what bitterness.
And thanking the gesture, a girl at the window
Brings to the singer the scarlet of a burning carnation.
 
Years went by that grille
That heard the complaint of good love,
It is today the regal and beautiful entrance
Of a window all splendor.
The old women say that from the past
Only the tradition has remained,
The girl died and the young man one day
Under the grille he committed suicide.
 
And the old women of the neighborhood, tell in their own way,
[...] like a red stain,
Like the carnations she used to thank with
The faithful gallantry of her singing poet.
