Letra del Tango Mi piba (Mi piba linda)

Los muchachos de la barra
como no salgo de farra me han negao su estimación;
Los muchachos se lamentan
de que no los tengo en cuenta y tal vez tengan razón.
Mas no saben que una piba
en mi vida se cruzó,
linda, buena, comprensiva,
y esa piba el corazón me cautivó…

¡Qué lindas son las noches
que paso junto a ella
mirando las estrellas
que no miré jamás!
¡Qué lindo es a su lado
pasearnos frente al río
y en medio del gentío
querernos más y más!
Dirán que estoy chiflado…
¡qué importo todo eso,
cuando ella me da un beso
qué importa lo demás!

Los muchachos me critican
y de zonzo califican mi profundo metejón.
Como nadie la conoce
no sospechan todo el goce que me causa esta pasión.
Si a mi piba conocieron
dejarían de charlar,
pues yo sé que si la vieran
¡ya quisieran encontrarse en mi lugar!…

English lyrics of the Tango "Mi piba (Mi piba linda)"

The boys at the bar
since I don’t go out partying have denied their esteem;
The boys lament
that I don’t consider them and maybe they are right.
But they don’t know that a girl
crossed my life,
beautiful, kind, understanding,
and that girl captivated my heart…

How beautiful are the nights
I spend with her
looking at the stars
I never looked at before!
How lovely it is by her side
to walk in front of the river
and amidst the crowd
to love each other more and more!
They might say I’m crazy…
what does all that matter,
when she gives me a kiss
what else matters!

The boys criticize me
and call me foolish for my deep infatuation.
Since no one knows her
they don’t suspect all the joy this passion brings me.
If they met my girl
they would stop chatting,
because I know that if they saw her
they’d wish to be in my place!…

The lyrics of “Mi piba (Mi piba linda)” narrate the story of a man who withdraws from his friends and social gatherings (farra) due to his deep affection and commitment to a woman he describes lovingly. His friends criticize and label him crazy (chiflado) for his “metejón” (infatuation), as they cannot understand the depth of his passion without knowing her. However, the man is deeply captivated and fulfilled by this relationship, signaling the transformative power of love which eclipses his former life pursuits.
