Letra del Tango Milonga del corazón

Yo soy la milonga brava
Hecha de amor y coraje,
Que silbaba el malevaje
De mil novecientos tres.

Soy del tiempo del taquito
Y la melena cuadrada,
De la alpargata bordada
La “yapa” y el “Chatelaine”

English lyrics of the Tango "Milonga del corazón"

I am the fierce milonga
Made of love and courage,
Whistled by the tough guys
From nineteen-oh-three.

I’m from the time of the neat trim
And the squared hair,
Of the embroidered espadrille,
The “lagniappe” and the “Chatelaine”.
