Letra del Milonga Milonga que peina canas

Allá en el tiempo del jopo,
peinao al agua florida,
cuando era linda la vida
y era mi escuela un stud,
nació mi amor por los pingos
con Stiletto y Surplice
y ese amor echó raíces
al llegar mi juventud.

Las chaquetillas famosas
dejaron en mis oídos
frufrú de tiempos queridos
que ya no pueden volver;
y hoy que tengo la cabeza
cubierta por tanta nieve,
con los hijos de Congreve
vuelvo a rejuvenecer.

Milonga que peina canas
y llora por San Martín,
Amianto, Niobe, Porteño,
Cordón Rouge y ‘Pipermint.
Milonga que peina canas
y ablanda mi corazón
como Old Man y Botafogo,
Rico, Lombardo y Macón.

Yo vivo con los recuerdos
de Floreal y Melgarejo,
Mouchette, Omega, Bermejo,
Mineral, Cocles o Ix
y cuando llegue la hora
de dar el último abrazo,
me iré pensando en Payaso
para morirme feliz.

Milonga que peina canas
y está llorando de pena
por Argentino Gigena
se fue sin decirle adiós;
nosotros también, milonga,
pensando en tiempos remotos,
con muchos boletos rotos,
tendremos que ver si hay Dios.

English lyrics of the Milonga "Milonga que peina canas"

Back in the time of the pompadour,
groomed with flowery water,
when life was lovely
and my school was a stud,
my love for the racehorses
was born with Stiletto and Surplice
and that love took root
when my youth arrived.

The famous jackets
left in my ears
the rustle of cherished times
that cannot return;
and now that my head
is covered with so much snow,
with the sons of Congreve
I rejuvenate again.

Milonga that combs gray hair
and cries for San Martín,
Amianto, Niobe, Porteño,
Cordón Rouge and ‘Pipermint.
Milonga that combs gray hair
and softens my heart
like Old Man and Botafogo,
Rico, Lombardo and Macón.

I live with the memories
of Floreal and Melgarejo,
Mouchette, Omega, Bermejo,
Mineral, Cocles or Ix
and when the time comes
to give the last embrace,
I will leave thinking of Clown
to die happy.

Milonga that combs gray hair
and weeps in pain
for Argentino Gigena
went away without saying goodbye;
we too, milonga,
thinking of distant times,
with many torn tickets,
will have to see if there’s a God.
