Barrio plateado por la luna
Rumores de milonga
Es toda tu fortuna
Hay un fuelle que rezonga
En la cortada mistonga
Mientras que una pebeta
Linda como una flor
Espera coqueta
Bajo la quieta luz de un farol
Barrio, barrio
Que tenés el alma inquieta
De un gorrión sentimental
Penas, ruegos
Es todo el barrio malevo
Melodía de arrabal
Viejo, barrio
Perdona que al evocarte
Se me pianta un lagrimón
Que al rodar en tu empedra'o
Es un beso prolonga'o
Que te da mi corazón
Cuna de tauras y cantores
De broncas y entreveros
De todos mis amores
En tus muros con mi acero
Yo grabe nombres que quiero
Rosa, la milonguita
Era rubia Margot
En la primera cita
La paica Rita
Me dio su amor
Barrio, barrio
Que tenés el alma inquieta
De un gorrión sentimental
Penas, ruegos
Es todo el barrio malevo
Melodía de arrabal
Viejo, barrio
Perdoná si al evocarte
Se me pianta un lagrimón
Que al rodar en tu empedra'o
Es un beso prolonga'o
Que te da mi corazón
