Isla de Flores, tan angostita
Mi callecita costa del mar
En tus casuchas nacieron todos
Los más coperos del arrabal
Y cuantas noches a mis oídos
Llegaron ruidos del guitarrear
Y en las heridas del conventillo
Me hicieron taura para tanguear
Calle, de mis primeros principios
Fuiste donde comencé a topar
Calle, por ti me hice milonguero
Me embriagué con tu bullicio
Y el tango ha sido mi vicio
En mi vida de arrabal
Y aunque he sufrido en esta ausencia
Las consecuencias de un berretín
Por ti he perdido a mi viejecita
Mis 20 abriles, todo perdí
Y los recuerdos aun no han borrado
Mi cruel tormento, mi horrible mal
Yo te perdono, nada reprocho
Mi callecita, costa del mar
Calle, de mis primeros principios
Fuiste donde comencé a topar
Calle, por ti me hice milonguero
Me embriagué con tu bullicio
Y el tango ha sido mi vicio
En mi vida de arrabal
