Letra del Tango Cantor de barrio

Cantor de barrio, sueñas fortuna
En las reuniones, con tu cantar,
Y a las muchachas de la barriada
Mil serenatas sabes brindar.
Cantor de barrio, llevas el tango
En los latidos del corazón,
Mientras se mezclan tus emociones
Con los fraseos del bandoneón.

Noche a noche, los muchachos del café,
Con tu canto se emocionan
Y te alientan con palabras
Que aseguran más tu fe.
Y esa piba, que ganó tu corazón,
Es la estrella que te guía
Y en las noches del romance
Engalana tu canción.

Cantor de esquina, muchacho humilde
Vives el tango con tu emoción,
Y en las reuniones de tu barriada
Brilla tu estampa de trovador.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cantor de barrio"

Neighborhood singer, you dream of fortune
At gatherings, with your singing,
And to the girls from the neighborhood
You offer countless serenades.
Neighborhood singer, you carry the tango
In the beats of your heart,
While your emotions blend
With the phrases of the bandoneon.

Night by night, the boys at the cafe,
Are moved by your song
And encourage you with words
That strengthen your belief.
And that girl, who won your heart,
Is the star that guides you
And on romance-filled nights
She adorns your song.

Corner singer, humble boy
You live the tango with your emotion,
And at the gatherings of your neighborhood
Your troubadour image shines.
