Ventanita de arrabal
Puede que un día vuelva
Si no te puedo olvidar.
Cuando esten tus hojas secas
Abrazandome en tus rejas
Nos pondremos a llorar.
En el barrio caferata
En un viejo conventillo
Con los pisos de ladrillo,
Minga de puerta cancel,
Donde van los organitos
Sus lamentos rezongando,
Esta la piba esperando
Que pase el muchacho aquel.
Aquel que solito
Entro al conventillo
Echando en los ojos
El fungi marron.
Botin enterizo
El cuello con brillo
Pidio una guitarra
Y pa' ella canto.
Aquel que un domingo
Bailaron un tango,
Aquel que le dijo:
Me muero por vos...
Aquel que su almita
Rodo por el tango, (1)
Aquel que a la reja
Nunca más volvio.
Ventanita del cotorro
Donde solo hay flores secas,
Vos también abandonada
De aquel dia...se quedo.
El rocio de sus hojas,
Las garuas de la ausencia
Con el dolor de un suspiro
Tu tronquito destrozo.
Gardel canta: "arrastro por el fango".
