La ronda
Ángel Parra
The round
(reciting)
- I remember with so much nostalgia my dear port,
the climb of Castilla, the Santo Domingo hill,
"The Seven Mirrors", "The Tiles", the "Forty-five",
yes... how great those milongas were, Angelito!
- Mr. Ro, I didn't get to know them
but let's see if we remember them now
with this cuequita. Oh, oh, oh... Valparaíso, my God!
(singing)
Last night the round passed
through the climb of Castilla.
It entered "The Seven Mirrors"
and took the girls away.
Last night the round passed.
The mononas came out
playing the whistle.
A cop made them quiet
with a single shout.
With a single shout, yes
in "The Tiles"
he takes the Regenta,
the most graceful.
They took Mr. Rorro
out of the "Crazy Duck".
