Lyrics
Por el bajo del Retiro
Subiendo va el aguador,
Carreta de agua fresquita
De agua que es un primor.
Viril la estampa del mozo
Sentado junto al pipón,
Va despertando las calles
Al cantar de su pregón.
 
Agüita fresca...!
Agua fresquita...!
Pa´ la tinaja de la porteña,
Agua del cielo, agüita ´e mar
Porteña linda, ven a llevar...
 
Sangriento, aquel sol de enero
Resquebraja el veredón,
Aguadas perlas lo riegan
Caídas del carretón...
Y bajo de las glicinas
Lleno queda el tinajón,
Y el mozo de linda estampa
Ya se va con su pregón.
 
Agüita fresca...!
Agua fresquita...!
Pa´ la mulata, esta bendita
Agua del cielo, agüita ´e mar,
Mi negra ingrata, ven a comprar...
English translation
Through the lower part of the Retiro
Up goes the water carrier,
A cart of fresh water
Of water that is a delicacy.
Virile is the image of the waiter
Sitting next to the pipe,
He wakes up the streets
To the song of his proclamation.
 
Fresh water...!
Fresh water...!
For the jar of the porteña,
Agua del cielo, agüita 'e mar
Porteña linda, come to take...
 
Bloody, that January sun
Cracks the veredón,
Watered by pearls
Fallen from the wagon...
And under the wisteria
The tinajón is full,
And the handsome young man
Is already leaving with his proclamation.
 
Fresh water...!
Fresh water...!
For the mulatto, this blessed
Water from the sky, water from the sea,
My ungrateful black woman, come and buy...
