Lyrics
Nació en un barrio con malvón y luna
por donde el hambre suele hacer gambetas
y desde pibe fue poniendo el hombro
y anchó a trabajo su sonrisa buena.
La sal del tiempo le oxidó la cara
cuando una mina lo dejó en chancleta
y entonces solo, para siempre solo,
largó el laburo y se metió en la huella.

Malevo, te olvidaste en los boliches 
los anhelos de tu vieja.
Malevo, se agrandaron tus hazañas 
con las copas de ginebra.
Por ella, tan sólo por ella,
dejaste una huella de amargo rencor.
Malevo, ¡qué triste!
jugaste y perdiste
tan sólo por ella 
que nunca volvió.

Tambor de tacos redoblando calles
para que se entren las muchachas buenas
y allí el silencio que mastica el pucho
dejando siempre la mirada a cuenta.
Dicen que dicen que una noche zurda
con el cuchillo deshojó la espera
y entonces solo, como flor de orilla,
largó el cansancio y se mató por ella.
English translation
He was born in a neighborhood with mallow and moon
where hunger usually wanders
and since he was a child he put his shoulder to work
and widened his good smile to work.
The salt of time oxidized his face
when a girl left him in his flip-flops
and then alone, forever alone,
he left his job and got into the track.

Malevo, you forgot in the nightclubs
the yearnings of your old lady.
Malevo, your exploits were enlarged
with the glasses of gin.
For her, just for her,
you left a trace of bitter resentment.
Malevo, how sad!
you played and lost
just for her
who never came back.

Drum of tacos redoubling the streets
for the good girls to enter
and there the silence that chews on the cigarette
always leaving the look on account.
They say that they say that one night left-handed
with the knife he stripped the wait
and then alone, like a flower on the shore,
he released his tiredness and killed himself for her.
