Llora la calesita
De la esquinita sombría
Y hace sangrar las cosas
Que fueron rosas un día
Mozos de punta y hacha
Y una muchacha que me quería
Tango varón y entero
Más orillero que el alma mía
Sigue llorando el tango
Y en la esquinita palpita
Con su dolor de fango
La calesita
Carancanfún, vuelvo a bailar
Y al recordar una sentada
Soy el ranún que en la parada
De tu enagua almidonada
Te grito: ¡Carancanfún!
Y el taconear
Y la lustrada
Sobre el pantalón
Cuando a tu lado, tirado
Tuve mi corazón
Grita la calesita
Su larga cuita maleva
Cita que por la acera
De Balvanera
Nos lleva
Vamos de nuevo, amiga
Para que siga
Con vos bailando
Vamos que en su rutina
La vieja esquina
Me está llamando
Vamos, que nos espera
Con tu pollera marchita
Esta canción que rueda
La calesita
(Coda)
Esta Canción que rueda
La Calesita
Esta Canción que rueda
La Calesita
