Voy mirando atrás y al comprobar
que el tiempo nuevo se llevó
la "franja", el "taco militar"...
Yo voy notando aquí en la zurda
que el corazón me hace una burla.
Nada duele tanto como ver
desenrollar del carretel
el hilo.de la juventud.
Adiós glicinas, emparrados y malvones...
Todo, todo ya se fue...
Dónde estarán los puntos del boliche aquel,
en el que yo cantaba mi primer canción.
Y aquellos patios donde pronto conquisté
aplausos tauras, los primeros que escuché.
Dónde estarán Traverso, el Cordobés y el Noy,
el Pardo Augusto, Flores y el Morocho Aldao.
Así empezó mi vuelo de zorzal...
Los guapos del Abasto
rimaron mi canción.
Soy aquel cantor del arrabal,
jilguero criollo que pulsó
la humilde musa de percal.
Me acuerdo de hace veinte abriles,
de aquellos bailes a candiles...
Cuando en una oreja iba colgao
como un hachazo en el costao
la mancha roja de un clavel.
Muchachos, todo lo ha llevado el almanaque.
Todo, todo ya se fue.
