Barrio de Tango

Un pedazo de barrio, allá en Pompeya,
durmiéndose al costado del terraplén.
Un farol balanceando en la barrera
y el misterio de adiós que siembra el tren.
Un ladrido de perros a la luna.
El amor escondido en un portón.
Y los sapos redoblando en la laguna
y a lo lejos la voz del bandoneón.
Barrio de tango, luna y misterio,
calles lejanas, ¡cómo andarán!
Viejos amigos que hoy ni recuerdo,
¡qué se habrán hecho, dónde estarán!
Barrio de tango, qué fue de aquella,
Juana, la rubia, que tanto amé.
¡Sabrá que sufro, pensando en ella,
desde la tarde que la dejé!
Barrio de tango, luna y misterio,
¡desde el recuerdo te vuelvo a ver!
Un coro de silbidos allá en la esquina.
El codillo llenando el almacén.
Y el dramón de la pálida vecina
que ya nunca salió a mirar el tren.
Así evoco tus noches, barrio 'e tango,
con las chatas entrando al corralón
y la luna chapaleando sobre el fango
y a lo lejos la voz del bandoneón.
