(recitado)
Templó la viola del payador del barrio,
y ante la rueda de aquel bodegón,
viejos recuerdos fue desenrollando
y esta milonga cantó.
Te pusimos por varón y por guapear
el Mano Brava
y hoy ese apodo
te vengo a reclamar...
Porque nunca más ha vuelto al barrio aquel,
che Mano Brava...
Soy tu "padrino" que te viene a hablar...
Soy el ayer...
La marca 'e fuego te ha quedao del barrio
y, aunque no quieras, siempre escucharás
la voz lejana de los comisarios
que te preguntan ¿Por dónde has andao?
Sé que has bancao por Francia y Nueva York
con naipes bien peinaos,
sé que tenés pa'l poker por demás,
los dedos afilaos...
(recitado)
Quién más, quién menos, todos cabizbajos
permanecieron por la evocación,
y continuando la Canción del Bajo
se oyó de nuevo al cantor:
Aquí está esperándote tu bodegón
pa´ echarte en cara
con cuentas claras
tu ingrato proceder...
Qué esperás pa' regresar y pa' abrazar,
che Mano Brava,
la muchachada que te supo dar
nombre y cartel...
