Lyrics
Tu corazón era un tango
y un bandoneón tus caderas.
Lloraba un tango en tu alma,
dormido en las sombras de tus ojeras 
Dolor de Boedo y Chiclana
sobre tus ojos de cielo.
Dolor gritando en la vincha
carmín de tu pelo y en tu canción.

Rosa de tango,
tu taconear en la vereda.
Rosa de tango,
como el piropo que te enreda.
Todos tus caminos eran tangos,
canto retorcido en un compás.
Y aquella noche,
como en la historia de Esthercita,
veinte abriles y una cita
te alejaron para siempre de mi arrabal.

Con funerales de tangos
lloró mi barrio tu olvido.
Quedó tu sueño distante
y un interrogante:
¿por qué te has ido?

Tu corazón era un tango
como farol de cortada.
¿Dónde andarán, mariposa,
tu boca pintada y tu canción?
English translation
Your heart was a tango
and a bandoneon your hips.
I cried a tango in your soul,
asleep in the shadows of your dark circles.
Pain of Boedo and Chiclana
over your sky eyes.
Pain screaming in the headband
carmine in your hair and in your song.

Tango rose,
your heel tapping on the sidewalk.
Tango rose,
like the piropo that entangles you.
All your paths were tangos,
twisted song in a beat.
And that night
as in the story of Esthercita,
twenty years and a date
took you forever away from my suburb.

With tango funerals
my neighborhood mourned your oblivion.
Your distant dream remained
and a question mark:
why have you gone?

Your heart was a tango
like a lantern cut.
Where will they go, butterfly
your painted mouth and your song?
