Mi Buenos Aires
querido, cuando yo te vuelva a ver, no habra mas penas ni olvido. El farolito de la calle en que naci fue el centinela de mis promesas de amor, bajo su inquieta lucecita yo la vi a mi pebeta luminosa como un sol. Hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver, ciudad porteña de mi unico querer, y oigo la queja de un bandoneón, dentro del pecho pide rienda el corazón. Mi Buenos Aires Las ventanitas de mis
calles de arrabal, Mi Buenos Aires
querido... |
My beloved
Buenos Aires, the day I see you again, there will be no more sorrow or forgetfulness The lamp of the street where I was born was witness to my promises of love, It was under its dim light that I saw her I saw my pebeta as bright as a sun. Today luck wants me to see you again, you my beloved city porteña, and I hear the lament of a bandoneón, asking for his heart to be set free. My Buenos Aires, The tiny windows of my
streets of arrabal, My beloved Buenos
Aires, |
Notes:
Pebeta
is a lunfardo word, which is the equivalent of "babe"
in English.
Ciudad
porteña is Buenos Aires, the "port city." When used as
"los porteños," it refers to the people of Buenos
Aires.
