Lyrics
Hermano, te ha vencido el modernismo,
tu figura de ayer también cambió,
sólo queda en tus compases melodiosos
el pasado corazón a corazón.

Ya te alejaste del suburbio que te viera
bajo la luz palpitante de un farol,
que perfilaba tu figura caprichosa
bailando a los acordes, de un organito al son.

Qué bien te queda, cómo has cambiado,
y en este marco de distinción,
vas enredando los corazones
entre lamentos de un bandoneón.

Los rascacielos llenos de asombro
vistiendo smoking, te ven llegar.
Qué bien te queda, tango argentino,
canción del alma, canto inmortal...
English translation
Brother, you have been defeated by modernism,
your figure of yesterday has also changed,
only remains in your melodious compasses
the past heart to heart.

You've already left the suburb that saw you
under the throbbing light of a lantern,
that outlined your capricious figure
dancing to the chords of a little organ to the sound.

How well you look, how you have changed,
and in this frame of distinction,
you are entangling the hearts
between laments of a bandoneon.

The skyscrapers full of astonishment
wearing a tuxedo, see you arrive.
How well it suits you, Argentine tango,
song of the soul, immortal song...
