Letra del Tango Yo te saludo Palermo

Yo soy burrero, desde que he nacido
Siempre he sentido profunda pasión,
Por tus carreras… ¡Palermo querido!
Que me has ofrecido, tan de corazón.
Soy propio un fierro… para la primera
Jamás me pierdo la preliminar,
Nunca me achica… la verde bandera
¡Que copan las fieras de la popular!

¡Palermo!…
Palermo de mis días
Un reo de alma y vida
Te canta esta canción.
¡Palermo!…
Palermo mío
Entre el gentío, vibró mi voz
Mi sangre burrera se estremece
Nobleza que enaltece, tu raza caballar.
¡Palermo!…
Vos sos mi vida
Ni en mi partida
Te he de olvidar.

Algunos toman, diciendo no juego
Otros prefieren, gastarlo en comer,
Yo que escolazo, mis sueldos enteros
También como y bebo… sin nada deber.
Que saben esos… que nunca jugaron
De los latidos, de su corazón,
Viendo la pose arrogante de un jockey
Que gana al galope, el Premio de Honor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Yo te saludo Palermo"

I’ve been a racing fan since I was born,
Always felt a deep passion,
For your races… dear Palermo!
Which you’ve offered me, so wholeheartedly.
I’m really keen… for the first race,
I never miss the preliminaries,
The green flag never intimidates me,
That’s taken by the wild ones from the stands!

Palermo!…
Palermo of my days,
A convict of soul and life,
Sings you this song.
Palermo!…
My Palermo,
Among the crowd, my voice vibrated,
My racer’s blood shudders,
Nobility that elevates, your equine race.
Palermo!…
You are my life,
Even in my departure,
I will never forget you.

Some drink, claiming they don’t gamble,
Others prefer to spend it on eating,
I, who wager my entire salaries,
Also eat and drink… without owing anything.
What do those know… who never gambled
About the heartbeats,
Watching the haughty pose of a jockey
Who wins at a gallop, the Prize of Honor.
