Carlos Gardel "Melodía de arrabal" lyrics

Translation to:en

Melodía de arrabal

Barrio plateado por la luna,Rumores de milongaEs toda tu fortuna.Hay un fuelle que rezongaEn la cortada mistonga,Mientras que una pebetaLinda como una flor,Espera coquetaBajo la inquieta luz de un farol.

Barrio... barrio...Que tenés el alma inquietaDe un gorrión sentimental.Penas... ruegos...Es todo el barrio malevoMelodía de arrabal.

Viejo... barrio...Perdoná si al evocarteSe me pianta un lagrimón,Que al rodar en tu empedraoEs un beso prolongaoQue te da mi corazón.

Cuna de tauras y cantoresDe broncas y entreverosDe todos mis amores;En tus muros con mi aceroYo grabe nombres que quiero:Rosa, la milonguita...Era rubia Margot...En la primera citaLa paica RitaMe dio su amor.

Barrio... barrio...Que tenés el alma inquietaDe un gorrión sentimental.Penas... ruegos...Es todo el barrio malevoMelodía de arrabal.

Viejo... barrio...Perdoná si al evocarteSe me pianta un lagrimón,Que al rodar en tu empedraoEs un beso prolongaoQue te da mi corazón.

Melody of the Slum

Neighborhood silver-plated by the moonmilonga1 rumorsis all your fortune.There's a bandoneon2 weepingin the absolute miserywhile a girlpretty as a floweris waiting coquettishunder the unquiet light of a street lamp

Neighborhood, neighborhoodyou have the unquiet soulof a sentimental sparrow.Sorrows, prayersall over the nasty neighborhood(it's the) melody of the slum

Old neighborhoodforgive me if I'm letting a tear dropwhenever I recall youwhich, by rolling down on your cobblestone alleysis a lingering kissmy heart is giving you.

Cradle of braves and singersof fights and riotsof all my loves;on your walls with my bladeI carve names that I love:Rosa, the milonga girl3...there was blonde Margot...on our first datethat wench Ritagave me her love.

Neighborhood, neighborhoodthat you have the unquiet soulof a sentimental sparrow.Sorrows, prayersall over the nasty neighborhood(it's the) melody of the slum

Old neighborhoodforgive me if I'm shedding a tearwhenever I recall youwhich, by rolling down on your cobblestone alleysis a lingering kissmy heart is giving you.
