Letra del Tango Cordobesita

Linda cordobesita,
llena de encantos
como tu sierra,
pura como tus ríos
que caen y a cada paso
ligeros se requiebran.

Linda cordobesita,
de ojazos negros
como tu pelo.
Linda, como tus montes
que llegan hasta el cielo
buscando bendición.

English lyrics of the Tango "Cordobesita"

Beautiful girl from Cordoba,
full of charms
like your highlands,
pure like your rivers
that fall and at each step
gently twist and turn.

Beautiful girl from Cordoba,
with big dark eyes
like your hair.
Beautiful, like your mountains
reaching up to the sky
seeking blessing.
