Letra del Tango Derecho viejo

Tango de mi ciudad, malevo y sensual,
canyengue y tristón, color de arrabal.
Señor de salón, tenés emoción
de noche porteña.
Vuelve para surgir en danza triunfal
canción sin igual que hace sentir
con tanta pasión en el corazón
su abrazo de amor.

Oigo el cantar de un triste bandoneón,
que llora en su canción la pena de un amor
que nunca pudo ser, por causa de creer
en locos berretines.
Todo pasó, no quiero recordar
el tiempo que se fue,
ya nunca volverá la dicha de tu amor
para poder soñar con vos en mi arrabal.

Qué dulzura hay en tu voz,
che, bandoneón, con tu chamuyo reo.
Tango lindo y querendón, nobleza de arrabal,
amores de otros tiempos…
Sigue, sigue tu canción
para alegrar esta velada linda,
suena, suena bandoneón, que siempre tu canción
está en el corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Derecho viejo"

Tango of my city, rogue and sensual,
Quaint and melancholy, hue of the suburb.
Lord of the ballroom, you hold the thrill
of a Buenos Aires night.
Return to claim your triumph in dance,
a peerless song that makes one feel
with such passion in their heart,
your embrace of love.

I hear the song of a sad bandoneon,
weeping in its melody the sorrow of a love
that could never be, for trusting
in foolish whims.
All is past, I don’t want to remember
the time that has gone,
the joy of your love will never return
to let me dream with you in my suburb.

What sweetness lies in your voice,
hey, bandoneon, with your cunning chatter.
Beauteous and loving tango, nobility of the suburb,
loves from another time…
Continue, continue your song
to brighten this beautiful evening,
play on, play bandoneon, for your song
always remains in the heart.
