Letra del Tango Guardia vieja

Con mi bagayo de penas
voy rumbo p’al olvido,
con mil recuerdos queridos
que nunca olvidaré.
Y se cruzan por mi mente
las farras y las orgías
de aquellos alegres días
que ya para mi no hay de volver.

¡Decirle adiós
a dichas que viví,
qué triste es!
Felicidad
que nunca más
conmigo tendré.
¿Quién calmará
las penas que dejó
el tiempo al pasar?

Fugitivas horas plácidas
de mi juventud consuelo,
¡hoy que tanto las anhelo,
qué lejos están de mí!
Y en su ausencia, horas trágicas
debo vivir.

Fui bacán y hoy soy pato
mas llevo alta la frente
para el amigo insolente
que el saludo me negó.
Bien lo sé que soy don nadie
no tengo ni pan ni techo
pero guardo en mi pecho
el dolor que el amigo me dejó.
