Viejo hotel de mis ensueños y alegrías que acunó el idilio de un loco amar, hoy recuerdo aquellos días que vos eras el fiel testigo de mi cantar. |
Old hotel of my dreams and joys that watched over the idyll of a crazy love, today I think back on those days when you were the faithful witness of my song. |
|
|
Hotel Víctoria, vos que supiste lo que he llorado en mi soledad verás mañana cuando te olviden que solo el tango te recordará. |
Victory Hotel, you that understood the reason I cried in my solitude, you'll see that when they forget you tomorrow only the tango will keep your memory. |

Hotel Victoria, fue el año veinte, que de tus puertas partió mi amor; y desde entonces llevo una pena que va matando a mi pobre corazón. |
Victory Hotel, it was the twentieth year, when my love went out through your doors; and ever since then I've been bearing a woe that kills this poor heart of mine still. |

Hoy que a golpes de piqueta te voltearon como aquella ingrata mi amor tronchó, los recuerdos son ahora tan amargos, ilusión que el tiempo se la llevó. |
Today as blows of the pickaxe take you down, the same as that brat cut short my love, so bitter does it make my memories, hopes borne off with time. |
