Siempre Llegando
Las Pastillas del Abuelo
Always Arriving
Gossipers' comments
Because of Troilo's absences
Who left his neighborhood
His footprints carried away by dust
And under a starry sky
He asked, 'Since when
Are my footprints in my neighborhood?
If I'm always arriving'
You're also here
When La Quema's smoke
Smells like gray and jasmine
On full moon nights
You're also arriving
And it's because you never left
I see your eyes watering
Cheeks of sad kids
You're also arriving
With your incredible audacity
Whistling softly a tango
Or singing the chirp-chirp
Your humanity, a monument
In Parque de los Patricios
Where a friend is support
Where love is a vice
In grocery store notebooks
Where confidences are noted
Or in the arrival of a train
Where hope will arrive
In the streets and suburbs
Of the old slums
In bars and dives
In carnival parades
I'll watch over your little bench
When the bell rings
And the night cries out loud
Giving birth to new mornings
On the corner of the ropes
There I will find you
Today Bonavena fights
Ringo returned to Luna Park
On the corner of the ropes
There I will find you
Today Bonavena fights
Ringo returned to Luna Park
