Firulete trazado en la vereda
Frente al viejo convento de arrabal
De ande salió la purreta milonguera
Que se engrupe a los giles del Pigall
Te has llegao hasta el centro de prepotencia
Y como hombre de agallas te has portao'
Y hasta aquellos que la van con decencia
A los sones del fuelle has dominao'
Te cambiaron la pinta allá en Europa
Y en francés te llamaron le tangó
Pero vos no has cambiado con la ropa
Y seguís siendo siempre como yo
El dolor del convento en que naciste
No sé si por tu bien o por tu mal
Vas derramando en tu cadencia triste
Como es triste también el arrabal
Tango
Que ocupas el primer rango
En milongas y salones
En el centro y arrabal
Tango
Flor de lujuria y de fango
Que los dandys y matones
Por vos dan hasta el puñal
Tango
Que cuando me falta un mango
Te canto y me das consuelo
Llenándome el corazón
Tango
Por más perverso y guarango
Para mi sos como el cielo
Aunque seas mi perdición
