Un Farolito Soy

Ugh, how this city hurts me
Empty squares without children, nothing to come
Ugh, how this city howls at me
I come to pull out the weeds by the root, pull them out by the root

How this city has changed for me
If it was my light that made that corner shine
I see few kids running and smiling
Light me up today, Argentina, to come back to life

Come to my light, I'm a little lantern
I've already mourned, and the pain didn't win
Oh, I'm a little lantern
Rusty, but not knocked down, they won't knock me down
How the street where I was born has changed
Since I turned off my light, they have sold and fitted you
A strange, poorly born song from another nation

How the street where I was born has changed
If in this land I want to die embraced
Bellows, wine, coffee, and in the frame Gardel's smile

Come to my light, I'm a little lantern
I've already mourned, and the pain didn't win
Oh, I'm a little lantern
Rusty, but not knocked down, they won't knock me down
