Lyrics
Llegaba en coche a la ventana de la moza
y se embriagaba con glicinas y jazmines;
traía un ansia de zorzal en los cantares
ponía el alma en las guitarras y violines.
A la hermosura quinceañera le dejaba
el homenaje de su acento y de su amor
y se alejaba con el premio de un suspiro,
una sonrisa, un 'muchas gracias' y una flor.

En la lejana noche fue
canción de amor y fe,
en la vidala fue el dolor
del mozo trovador...
Con habaneras vino al barrio a suspirar
y al claro de la luna, su farol de plata,
le pidió a la ingrata
que supiera amar.
La linda moza al despertar
al son de la canción.
Abría su alma y su balcón
poniéndose a soñar...
Y florecía la esperanza del cantor
al ver que la sonrisa de la porteñita,
era una infinita promesa de amor.

Enmudeció la serenata para siempre,
ya no anda en coche con guitarras y violines
siguió el camino de las buenas ventanitas
que se adornaba con glicinas y jazmines.
Se fue al ocaso con el coche en que llegaba
partió al recuerdo con Gabino, el payador.
Y se cerraron los balcones que se abrían,
para brindarle un 'muchas gracias' y una flor.
English translation
He would drive up to the wench's window
and became intoxicated with wisteria and jasmine;
he would bring a thrush's longing in the songs.
He put his soul in guitars and violins.
To the fifteen year old beauty she left
the homage of her accent and her love
and he left with the reward of a sigh,
a smile, a 'thank you very much' and a flower.

In the distant night it was
song of love and faith,
in the vidala it was the pain
of the troubadour boy...
With habaneras he came to the neighborhood to sigh
and in the moonlight, his silver lantern,
he asked the ungrateful woman
to know how to love.
The pretty girl when she woke up
to the sound of the song.
She opened her soul and her balcony
and began to dream...
And the singer's hope blossomed
to see that the smile of the porteñita,
was an infinite promise of love.

The serenade fell silent forever,
she no longer rode in a car with guitars and violins.
she followed the path of the good little windows
that was adorned with wisteria and jasmine.
She went to the sunset with the car in which she was arriving
he left to the memory with Gabino, the payador.
And the balconies that opened were closed,
to offer him a 'thank you very much' and a flower.
