Letra del Vals Buenos Aires de mi amor

Buenos Aires de mi amor donde he nacido
Hoy me llena tu pasado de emoción,
Por los años tan felices que he vivido
Le dedico a mi madre esta canción.
El olvido nunca borra tus encantos
Buenos Aires, ciudad cuna de mi amor,
Peregrino de la vida, siempre sueño
Con mi alma de bohemio y de cantor,
Y a las madres de este mundo hoy les canto
Con mi alma… Buenos Aires de mi amor.

Recitado:
Buenos Aires… de Bardi, Arolas, Carriego y Podestá,
Este vals… se lo dedico a Buenos Aires,
A sus novias, al suburbio, al amor,
A todas las madres del mundo en su día
Y a mi viejecita… la santa de mi corazón…

La guitarra de mi loca fantasía
Evocando con ternura el diapasón,
Toca tangos de cansadas armonías
Que me llena de tristeza el corazón.
El colegio, mis amigos y mi barrio
Los partidos salpicando el paredón,
Mi casita, el amor de aquella novia
Y mi madre esperando en el balcón,
Hoy me queda la nostalgia de tus calles
Perdoname… Buenos Aires de mi amor…

Coda:
Mi casita… el amor de aquella novia
Y mi madre… y mi madre esperando en el balcón…

English lyrics of the Vals "Buenos Aires de mi amor"

Buenos Aires, my love, where I was born,
Today your past fills me with emotion;
For the happy years that I have lived,
I dedicate this song to my mother.
Oblivion never erases your charms,
Buenos Aires, city cradle of my love,
A pilgrim of life, I always dream
With my soul of a bohemian and singer,
And to the mothers of this world today I sing
With my soul… Buenos Aires of my love.

Spoken:
Buenos Aires… of Bardi, Arolas, Carriego, and Podestá,
This waltz… I dedicate it to Buenos Aires,
To its sweethearts, to the suburbs, to love,
To all the mothers of the world on their day
And to my little old lady… the saint of my heart…

The guitar of my wild fantasy,
Evoking tenderly the tuning,
Plays tangos of tired harmonies
That fill my heart with sadness.
The school, my friends, and my neighborhood,
The games splashing against the wall,
My little house, the love of that girlfriend
And my mother waiting on the balcony,
Today I feel the nostalgia of your streets,
Forgive me… Buenos Aires of my love…

Coda:
My little house… the love of that girlfriend
And my mother… and my mother waiting on the balcony…
