Llora la calesita
de la esquinita sombría
y hace sangrar las hojas
que fueron rosas un día.
Mozos de punta y hacha
y una muchacha que me quería.
Tango varón y entero,
más orillero que el alma mía.
Sigue llorando el fango
y en la esquinita palpita,
con su dolor de tango,
la calesita…
Carancanfún... Vuelvo a bailar
y al recordar una sentada
soy el ranún que en la parada
de tu enagua almidonada
te grito: ¡Carancanfún!...
Y el taconear y la lustrada
sobre el pantalón,
cuando a tu lado, tirado,
tuve tu corazón...
Grita la calesita
su larga cuita maleva...
Cita que por la acera
de Balvanera nos lleva.
Vamos de nuevo, amiga,
para que siga con vos bailando.
Vamos, que en su rutina
la vieja esquina me está llamando...
Vamos, que nos espera
con su pollera marchita,
esta canción que rueda,
la calesita...
