Lyrics
Viejo hotel de mis ensueños y alegrías
que acunó el idilio de un loco amar,
hoy recuerdo aquellos días que vos eras
el fiel testigo de mi cantar.

Hotel Victoria, vos que supiste
lo que he llorado en mi soledad,
verás mañana, cuando te olviden,
que sólo el tango te recordará.
Hotel Victoria, fue el año veinte,
que de tus puertas partió mi amor.
Y desde entonces llevo una pena
que va matando a mi pobre corazón.

Hoy que a golpes de piqueta te voltearon,
como aquella ingrata mi amor tronchó.
Los recuerdos son ahora muy amargos,
ilusión que el tiempo se la llevó.
English translation
Old hotel of my dreams and joys
that cradled the idyll of a crazy love,
today I remember those days when you were
the faithful witness of my singing.

Hotel Victoria, you who knew
what I have cried in my loneliness,
you will see tomorrow, when you are forgotten,
that only tango will remember you.
Hotel Victoria, it was the twentieth year
that my love left your doors.
And since then I carry a sorrow
that has been killing my poor heart.

Today that with the blows of a pickaxe they overturned you,
like that ungrateful woman, my love was cut down.
The memories are now very bitter,
illusion that time took away.

The Cabeceo
