Letra del Milonga Milonga del 83

Milonga del ochenta y tres
Criolla fue;
El que te puso este nombre
No pudo elegir tan grande
Nombre gaucho que valiera.
Por eso quiero cantar
Con gran placer,
Esta milonga campera,
Demostrando a la afición
Que este cantar es noble y fiel.

Milonga criolla
Que siempre has de ser,
Por tu noble cultura
Cumpliendo un deber,
Demostrando ante el mundo
Tu ritmo ideal,
Como danza que supo
Ocupar su sitial.
Es por eso que todos
Te cantan así:
¡Ay, milonga criolla,
tú eres la mejor!
Y los grandes y chicos
Te admiran sin par.
¡Ay, milonga del alma
siempre te he de amar…!


Milonga del ochenta y tres
Que tuyo fue
Este gran triunfo alcanzado,
Ganando las simpatías
De todos en general.
Y éste, tu grande poder
Fama te dio
De ser culta y noble,
Y por eso tú serás
De norte a sur canto ideal.

English lyrics of the Milonga "Milonga del 83"

Milonga of eighty-three
Creole was;
The one who named you so
Could not choose a name so grand,
A gaucho name that truly fit.
Thus I wish to sing
With great pleasure,
This rustic milonga,
Showing admirers
This song is noble and true.

Creole milonga
You always shall be,
For your noble culture
Fulfilling a duty,
Showing the world
Your ideal rhythm,
A dance that claimed
Its rightful place.
That’s why everyone
Sings to you like this:
Oh, creole milonga,
You are the best!
And great and small
Adore you alike.
Oh, soul’s milonga,
I shall always love you!

Milonga of eighty-three
That yours was
This great triumph achieved,
Winning the affections
Of everyone alike.
And this, your great power
Fame gave you
Of being cultured and noble,
Thus you shall be
From north to south, the ideal song.
