Lyrics
La parda nació de noche
Y andaba al amanecer,
Con parches de cien candombes
Por los zanjones del tiempo aquel.
 
Creció con los jarangones
Y anduvo en el espinel,
Ya breva, al cumplir catorce
Con pretensiones de ser mujer.
 
Detrás de sus ojos mansos
Quemaba pasión, la piel,
Y en fiestas de punta y taco
Bailaba el tango queriéndome.
 
Total que pasaron años
Justito a los veintitrés,
La noche le trajo al pardo
Y en un fandango piantó con él.
 
Mulata fogosa
La noche, la luz,
Poné la sal
Sacá el betún.
Bailongo con corte
También te llevó,
Y un mayoral
¡Carancanfún...!
English translation
The brown was born at night
And walked at dawn,
With patches of a hundred candombes
Through the ditches of that time.
 
She grew up with the jarangones
And walked in the espinel,
Already a breva, when she turned fourteen
With pretensions of being a woman.
 
Behind her gentle eyes
Burned passion, the skin,
And in parties of toe and heel
He danced the tango loving me.
 
Years went by
Just at twenty-three,
The night brought him to the pardo
And in a fandango he danced with him.
 
Fiery mulatto
The night, the light,
Put the salt
Take out the shoe polish.
Dance with cut
It also took you,
And a majoral
Carancanfún...!
