La ciudad dormía majestuosamente
En la quietud de la noche
Como una agonía, como un reproche
Un alma en pena cantaba así
Corrientes calle nocturna
De milongas, calaveras y gente bien
En tu calle de vicios y de orgía
Maté mis alegrías, mi único edén
Corrientes calle de vicios
Donde ilusa marchité mi juventud
Entre el brillo de tus luces esplendentes
Mareada y sonriente, perdí mi juventud
Y una más que vaga sola
Sola y triste con mi pena
Arrastrando una cadena
De amargura y sinsabor
Más yo no culpo a ninguno
Sufro sola mi caída
Y a cada paso mi vida
Llora de angustia y dolor
Corrientes calle de vicios
Una noche me embriagaste con tu mal
Y fue tanto el veneno que me diste
Que nadie resista tu brillo fatal
Corrientes calle maldita
No te cambio jamás por mi arrabal
Aunque a veces quisiera abandonarte
No puedo dejarte, calle de mi mal
Como siento por mis viejos
Mi hogar, mis hermanitos
Que de pena probrecitos
Sufren lo mismo que yo
Ya mi honor y la vergüenza
Para siempre la he perdido
Y hasta mi carne he vendido
Para que hablar del pudor!
