Valsecito que traes el perfume
De los bailes debajo 'el parral
Y el recuerdo del gringo organista
Que lloraba por el arrabal
La poesía del barrio entonces
Se despierta en tu viejo compás
Y la mente dibuja el paisaje
De un patio estrellado; detrás el portal
Para llorar tu sentir; te enredás en el violín
Y acollarás la armonía de tu son
Al bajo del bandoneón
Y si sopla un vendaval
En la huella de un querer
En la guitarra gentil del payador
Sos el lamento mejor
Los muchachos; te razan silbando
Y las pibas te cantan también
Y el trovero gangoso del barrio
En tus notas diluye un desdén
Y si junto a la reja; en tus sones
Se perfuma la voz de un cantor
Unos ojos borrachos de ensueño
Te dicen las gracias con un lagrimón
Si en la esquina pintada del barrio
Se destrenza tu humilde canción
De ternuras las noches plateadas
Prenden una estrellita de amor
Porque fuiste el primer cancionero
Para el alma del viejo cantor
Sos la contra del tango malevo
Y si él es guapeza; vos sos todo amor
