Milonga madre cantando
te conocí yo no supe ni cuándo
sé que una tarde en un tango te pude oír
tarareándolo.
Madre milonga en tus brazos sentimentales
se fueron al mazo
taitas y yiros de paso
cuando tu amor les tanteó el corazón.
Milonga madre en las pencas
tu clavelina de alcurnia flamenca
debió volverse violenta flor chamuchina
color malvón.
Y por tus anchas caderas, milonga madre
de andar campesino, la yumba se abrió camino
y nació troyera en el milongón.
Milonga madre vos eras, para el cartón
sin amor ni taquera, mina mistonga y diquera
que chamuyaba de un metejón.
Capaz que el coso soñaba, milonga madre
y vos lo acariciabas, si era goruta y pasaba
por ser compadre y castigador.
Milonga madre cantando te conocí
yo no supe ni cuándo
sé que una tarde en un tango te pude oír
tarareándolo.
Madre milonga en tus brazos sentimentales
se fueron al mazo
taitas y yiros de paso
cuando tu amor les tanteó el corazón.
