Letra del Tango 14 de diciembre

Como homenaje sincero dos amigos aquí están
Y en tu día Juan D’Arienzo te dedican su gotan
Un 14 de diciembre al mundo viniste Juan,
con un corazón muy grande, y un violín sentimental.
Con tu estilo inconfundible al tango brillo le das,
sos ídolo de tu pueblo, te llaman “Rey del Compás”.

As a heartfelt tribute, two friends are here
And on your day, Juan D’Arienzo, they dedicate their tango to you
On December 14th you came into the world, Juan,
With a big heart and a sentimental violin.
With your unmistakable style, you give shine to tango,
You are the idol of your people, known as the “King of Rhythm.”
