Caserón De Tejas

Belgrano neighborhood!
House with tile roof!
Do you remember, sister
The warm nights
On the sidewalk?
When a nearby train
Left us with old
Strange longings
Under the gentle
Temperance of the rose bush?

Everything was so simple!
Clear as the sky!
Good as the tale
That in the sweet naps
Grandpa told us!
When in the little piano
Of the dark room
Bled the pure
Tenderness of a waltz

It revived! It revived!
In the sleeping notes of the piano
And with the subtle spell of your hand
Grandpa's coat-tail will come
Call it! Call it!
We will live the distant tale
That in that house with tile roof in Belgrano
Defeating the mystery, mom calls us

Belgrano neighborhood!
House with tile roof!
Where is the water tank
Where are your courtyards
Where are your bars?
You will return to the piano
My old little sister
And in the melodies
The clear days
Of home will live

Your smile, sister
Sheltered my sorrow
And like in the tale
That in the sweet naps
Grandpa told us
The little piano will return
In the dark room
To bleed the pure
Tenderness of the waltz
