Letra del Tango Un tango para el recuerdo

Cuando vine pa´ este barrio, de la mano de mis viejos
Era un pibe que soñaba con los cuentos de Vigil,
Y aprendí desde purrete a charlar con las estrellas
Y encontré por esa huella a mi barra juvenil.

Cuando surgió la cortada de aquel barrio del recuerdo
Sobre su lomo de tierra dimos vida a la ilusión,
Una pelota de veinte, una vieja camiseta
Y aquel cuadro inolvidable, que se llamó “Tradición”.

Por qué calles se perdieron
Los amigos de mi barra,
Ya no está la muchachada
En la rueda del café.
Y al rumbear para mi casa
Ya no voy pa´ la otra pieza,
A darle un beso a la vieja
Porque también se me fue.

Cuando vine pa´ este barrio, ni siquiera imaginaba
Que en la vida me aguardaban tropezones por doquier,
Menos mal que Dios ha puesto una flor en mi camino
Perfumando mi existencia el amor de una mujer.

De aquel ayer me ha quedado este cofre de recuerdos
Apretado en lo más hondo de este viejo corazón,
Qué alegría al recordarlos, cuántas penas, cuántos sueños
Que ni el viento de los años de mi alma los borró.

English lyrics of the Tango "Un tango para el recuerdo"

When I came to this neighborhood, led by my parents
I was a kid who dreamt of stories by Vigil,
And I learned from a young age to chat with the stars
And by that path, I found my youthful crew.

When the alley emerged from that nostalgic neighborhood
On its dirt back, we gave life to illusion,
A twenty-cent ball, an old jersey
And that unforgettable team, named “Tradition.”

Where have the friends of my crew gone?
The gang is no longer at the coffee circle.
And when heading home
I don’t go to the other room,
To give a kiss to my mom
Because she too has left.

When I came to this neighborhood, I never even imagined
That life had in store for me stumbles all around,
Thank goodness God placed a flower on my path
Perfuming my existence with the love of a woman.

From that yesterday, I’ve kept this chest of memories
Pressed deep within this old heart,
What joy upon recalling them, how much sorrow, how many dreams
That not even the years’ wind has erased from my soul.
