Lyrics
Muchachita buena, que un mozo engañará;
la Vuelta de Rocha tu historia guardó;
este viejo barrio, que tanto te quiso,
tu triste tragedia jamás olvidó.

Cantabas siempre, como canta el barrio,
el tango triste o la canción doliente;
Flor de la 'Vuelta' te llamó la gente,
por tu gracia y tu candor.

El mozo aquel se fue dejando sola
a la más pura y santa noviecita;
quedaste tú como una flor marchita,
sollozando tu dolor.

Muchachita buena, los muelles lo saben,
que el viejo Riachuelo sepulcro te dio;
una crucecita le dice al que pasa,
que el alma de un barrio tu muerte lloró.
English translation
Good little girl, that a boy will deceive;
the Vuelta de Rocha kept your story;
this old neighborhood, that loved you so much,
your sad tragedy never forgot.

You always sang, as the neighborhood sings,
the sad tango or the mournful song;
Flor de la 'Vuelta' the people called you,
for your grace and your candor.

The young man went away leaving alone
the purest and most saintly bride;
you were left like a wilted flower,
sobbing your pain.

Good little girl, the docks know it,
that the old Riachuelo gave you a grave;
a little cross tells those who pass by,
that the soul of a neighborhood mourned your death.
