Letra del Tango D'Arienzo vos sos el rey

Guitarra,

leyenda pura de barrios,

de patios llenos de parras

y amor de manso percal.

Algún cantor Don Juan

lloro unos ojos negros…

Guitarra,

las callecitas sin encantos

que se perfuman con el canto

de tu voz sentimental.



Tu cariño es canción

de calandria y de zorzal.

Y es cordial corazón

de la pampa y la ciudad.

Es también noche azul

y es el beso y es la cruz…

Tu canción es la voz

de mi gaucha traición.



Guitarra,

que está gimiendo entre rosas

y está escuchando una moza

con ojos negros carbón.

Le canta un corazón

con alma melodiosa…

Guitarra,

de payadores argentinos

de Betinotti y de Gabino,

y guitarra de mi amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "D'Arienzo vos sos el rey"

Guitar,

pure legend of neighborhoods,

of courtyards filled with grapevines

and love of gentle muslin.

Some singing Don Juan

cried over dark eyes…

Guitar,

the charmless little streets

that are perfumed by the song

of your sentimental voice.

Your affection is a song

of larks and thrushes.

And it is a cordial heart

of the pampas and the city.

It is also a blue night

and it is the kiss and it is the cross…

Your song is the voice

of my gaucho betrayal.

Guitar,

that is moaning among roses

and is listening to a girl

with coal-black eyes.

A heart sings to her

with a melodious soul…

Guitar,

of Argentine troubadours

of Betinotti and of Gabino,

and guitar of my love.

Terms like “la cruz” and “beso” represent the dual themes of suffering and love, hinting at the depth of traditional tango themes.
