Letra del Tango Voz de barrio

Está en la paz de la noche

Cuando se visten los patios porteños

Con cortinados de madreselvas

Y están sumidos en hondos sueños

Hay sentimiento, ternura y llanto

En la voz triste del bandoneón.



Voz que nos cuenta sus penas

Con la emoción,

Del que está abandonado.

Y oyendo en noches de luna

Su lamentación,

Nos hace estremecer

Su voz sentimental.



Voz de barrio hecha canción,

Que nos hace recordar

Tantas cosas del pasado,

Y es esta voz gemidora

Nota de cristal,

Dentro del corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Voz de barrio"

It’s in the night’s peace

When the porteño patios are dressed

With curtains of honeysuckles

And are deep in dreams.

There’s feeling, tenderness, and crying

In the sad voice of the bandoneón.

A voice that tells us its sorrows

With the emotion,

Of one who is abandoned.

And listening during moonlit nights

To its lamentation,

Makes us shudder

Its sentimental voice.

A neighborhood voice turned into song,

That makes us remember

So many things from the past,

And it’s this moaning voice

A note of crystal,

Within the heart.

Voz de barrio by Enrique Gaudino
