BANDONEON ARRABALERO Lyrics

LYRICS: Pascual Contursi
MUSIC: Juan Bautista Deambrogio

Bandoneon arrabalero,
viejo fuelle desinflado,
te encontre como a un pebete
que la madre abandono
en la puerta de un convento
sin reboque en las paredes,
a la luz de un farolito
que de noche te alumbro.

Bandoneon,
porque ves que estoy triste
y cantar ya no puedo,
vos sabes
que yo llevo en el alma
marcao un dolor.

Te lleve a mi pieza,
te acune en mi pecho frio,
yo también abandonado
me encontraba en el bulin;
has querido consolarme
con tu voz enronquecida
y tus notas doloridas
aumento mi berretin.

Quote of the Day

The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina. -Yo-Yo Ma
