FLOR DE ARRABAL lyrics

LYRICS: Luis Riccardi
MUSIC: Luis Riccardi

En el fangal nació una flor
que algún cantor puso en su ojal,
del arrabal vino hasta aquí
para decir no soy el mal,
ya cantar voy con claridad
milonga soy, ¡para que mas!

La milonga, mi vida
es alegre y risueña,
es machaza y querida
la milonga porteña,
la milonga del campo
también tiene escondida,
en sus notas floridas
mil encantos de amor.

La milonga de ayer
que mi raza cantó,
y mi pueblo adoptó
con cariño y placer,
del arrabal se vino
con su cante y su donaire,
conquistando a Buenos Aires
con su ritmo sin igual

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
