Mientras la luna serena
baña con su luz de plata
como un sollozo de pena
se oye cantar su canción.
La canción dulce y sentida
que todo el barrio escuchaba
cuando el silencio reinaba
en el viejo caserón.
Cuentan que fue la piba del arrabal
la flor del barrio aquel
que amaba un payador
solo para ella canto el amor
al pie de su ventanal
pero otro amor por aquella mujer
nació en el corazón del taura más mentao
que un farol en duelo criollo vio.
Ah, bajo su débil luz morir los dos
por eso gimen las noches
de tan silenciosa calma
esa canción que es el broche
de aquel amor que paso
de pena la linda piba
abrió bien anchas sus alas
y con su virtud y sus galas
hasta el cielo se voló.
