El poncho del amor

Yo soy del barrio de la riberaPatria del tango y el bandoneón,Hijo sin grupo de un gringo viejoIgual que el tango de rezongónDesde muy pibe solté los cabosY en la milonga perseveré,Hasta que un día quedé amarradoEntre los brazos de una mujer

Por ella perdí mi rumboY al mundo me eché a rodar,Pa´ olvidar aquellos ojosQue me hicieron tanto malPero es inútil, compadreHincharle el pecho al dolor,Cuando nos tapan el almaCon el poncho del amor

Por eso que ando triste y erranteBuscando en todas sabor igual,Al de los besos de aquella bocaQue ya mis labios no ha de besarYo soy del barrio de la riberaPatria del tango y el bandoneón ...

The poncho of love

I am from the neighborhood of La Ribera,homeland of the tango and the bandoneonI'm the lonely son of an old gringoand i'm as whiny as the tangoFrom a very young age, I went outand persevered with the milonga,until one day I ended up trappedbetween the arms of a woman

Because of her I lost my wayand went on rambling around the worldto forget those eyesthat did me so wrongBut it's useless, mantrying to be indifferent to painwhen the soul is coveredby the poncho of love

That's why I'm sad and erranttrying to find the same taste in every woman I'm withthe one like the kisses from that mouththat my lips will no longer kissI am from the neighborhood of La Riberahomeland of the tango and the bandoneon...
