Letra del Milonga Con flauta y guitarra

Con intención de engalanar la casa vieja,

un techo’ e parra hace de cielo a las parejas.

Con el repique saltarín de esta milonga,

lustra charol un bailarín de “meta y ponga”…

Guitarra y flauta haciendo historia en los oídos

de la matrona más famosa del lugar…

Y la milonga se hace sombra, se hace rezo

cuando una piba rezonga porque le han robado un beso.

Y en la disculpa del galán hay un piropo

y el enojo poco a poco, se hace abrazo al milonguear…



Canción de arrabal,

con flauta y guitarra

y un cielo de parra

que me hizo soñar.



Yo fui bailarín de fama

allá en el 20 en Avellaneda,

alguno de aquellas ruedas

aún se recuerdan de Juan Cepeda.

¡Qué lindos tiempos aquellos!

¡Qué lindo pa’ recordar!

Milonga de tiempos viejos,

no me avergüenzo, quiero llorar…



¡Canción de arrabal!

Con flauta y guitarra

y un cielo de parra

que me hizo soñar.

Con flauta y guitarra

y un cielo de parra

que me hizo soñar…

con flauta y guitarra,

milonga querida,

te quiero cantar…

English lyrics of the Milonga "Con flauta y guitarra"

With intent to adorn the old house,

A vine-roof creates a sky for couples.

With the bouncing rattle of this milonga,

A dancer polishes patent leather in eager action…

Guitar and flute making history in the ears

Of the most famous matron of the place…

And the milonga turns into shadow, turns into prayer

When a girl complains because they’ve stolen a kiss from her.

And in the gentleman’s apology, there’s a compliment

And slowly, the anger turns into an embrace as they dance the milonga…



Suburban song,

With flute and guitar

And a vine sky

That made me dream.


I was a famous dancer

Back in the ’20s in Avellaneda,

Some from those rounds

Still remember Juan Cepeda.

How beautiful those times were!

How beautiful to remember!

Milonga from old times,

I’m not ashamed, I want to cry…


Suburban song!

With flute and guitar

And a vine sky

That made me dream.

With flute and guitar

And a vine sky

That made me dream…

With flute and guitar,

Beloved milonga,

I want to sing to you…

Story behind the Tango Con flauta y guitarra

Con flauta y guitarra narrates a nostalgic reminiscence of dancing to the tunes of a milonga in a quaint, embellished old house. It captures a vivid yet romantic picture of community gatherings, where couples danced under a grapevine-draped ceiling to the sounds of a flute and guitar. The lyrical enthusiasm in depicting a scene where a kiss is stolen and playfully reconciled into a dance embrace showcases a lively, cultural interaction within a tight-knit environment.

The title “Con flauta y guitarra” which translates to “With flute and guitar,” symbolizes the traditional instruments crucial to setting the ambience in old Argentine milongas. A primary symbol in the song is the “cielo de parra” or “grapevine sky,” depicting the ceiling covered in grapevines, under which community members danced and socialized – a metaphor for protection and growth of their bonds through shared experiences. The transitioning from anger to an embracing dance over a stolen kiss symbolizes resilience and joy in relationships, uniting through dance and music despite minor conflicts.
