Lyrics
Santa milonguita...
tenía los ojos,
tan grandes y claros,
que hacían suspirar...
Sus labios pecaban,
de breves y rojos,
y era su mirada,
color verde mar.
Ella que fue siempre,
festín y alegría,
que en juego de copas,
se hartó de champán...
Tuvo un bello arranque,
de sensiblería,
y quiso ser buena,
buena como el pan...

Redimida...
por la pasión de un nuevo dueño,
mirando el cielo de su vida,
encontró más encendida,
la estrellita de sueños...
Pero un día...
cuando el amor más los ataba,
golpeó a sus puertas rudamente,
la miseria y... crudamente,
del amor la separó.

Santa Milonguita,
bandeada de pena,
por ley del arroyo,
volvió al cabaret...
No tuvo la suerte,
de la Magdalena,
que con cuatro llantos
volvió a ser mujer.
Todas las amigas,
la historia escuchaban,
de aquella muchacha,
que quiso soñar...
Y al final del cuento,
vieron que lloraban,
sus ojos aquellos,
color verde mar.
English translation
Holy milonguita...
she had eyes,
so big and clear,
that made you sigh...
Her lips were sinful,
of short and red,
and her eyes were,
sea-green.
She who was always,
feast and joy,
who in a game of glasses,
she had her fill of champagne...
She had a beautiful outburst
of sentimentality,
and wanted to be good,
good as bread...

Redeemed...
by the passion of a new owner,
looking at the sky of her life,
she found more lit,
the little star of dreams...
But one day...
when love bound them the most,
knocked at their doors rudely,
misery and... rudely,
from love separated her.

Holy Milonguita,
bandeada of sorrow,
by the law of the stream,
returned to the cabaret...
She had no luck,
of the Magdalena,
who with four cries
she became a woman again.
All her friends
listened to the story
of that girl,
who wanted to dream...
And at the end of the story
they saw that they were crying,
her eyes those,
sea-green eyes.
