Barrio de Tango
Homero Manzi
Tango Neighborhood
A piece of neighborhood, there in Pompeya
Falling asleep by the embankment
A lantern swaying on the barrier
And the mystery of goodbye that the train sows
A barking of dogs at the Moon
Love hidden in a gate
And the toads drumming in the lagoon
And in the distance the voice of the bandoneon
Tango neighborhood, Moon and mystery
Distant streets, how will they be?
Old friends that I don't even remember today
What have they become, where are they?
Tango neighborhood, what happened to that
Juana, the blonde, that I loved so much
Does she know I suffer, thinking of her
Since the afternoon I left her
Tango neighborhood, Moon and mystery
From memory I see you again
A chorus of whistles there on the corner
The elbow filling the store
And the drama of the pale neighbor
Who never went out to watch the train
So I evoke your nights, tango neighborhood
With the carts entering the yard
And the Moon splashing on the mud
And in the distance the voice of the bandoneon
Tango neighborhood, Moon and mystery
Distant streets, how will they be?
Old friends that I don't even remember today
What have they become, where are they?
Tango neighborhood, what happened to that
Juana, the blonde, that I loved so much
Does she know I suffer, thinking of her
Since the afternoon I left her
Tango neighborhood, Moon and mystery
From memory I see you again
