Cuando apurada pasás
rumbo quién sabe a qué parte,
haciendo lucir con arte
tu silueta al caminar,
va diciendo ese taquear
que tenés de milonguera:
"Callejera... Calle]era...
¿a dónde irás a parar?"
Esos trajes que empilchás
no concuerdan con tu cuna,
pobre mina pelandruna
hecha de seda y percal.
En fina copa e' cristal
hoy tomás ricos licores,
y entre tantos resplandores
se encandiló tu arrabal.
Callejera,
que taqueás de Sur a Norte,
dando dique con el corte
de ese empilche que llevás.
Callejera,
vos también sos Milonguita
y en el fondo de tu almita
una pena sepultás.
Triunfa tu gracia, yo sé,
y en los fondines nocheros
sos de los muebles diqueros
el que da más relumbrón.
Despilfarrás tentación,
pero también, callejera,
cuando estés vieja y fulera
tendrás muerto el corazón.
Seguí nomás, deslizá
tus abriles por la vida,
fascinada y engrupida
por las luces del Pigall,
que cuando empiece a tallar
el invierno de tu vida
notarás arrepentida
que has vivido un carnaval.
