ROSA MORENA lyrics

LYRICS: Héctor Pedro Blomber
MUSIC: Enrique Maciel

Abuelita Dominga,
que era muy vieja,
y vivía en el barrio,
de los candombes,
del carnaval de rosas,
no se olvidaba,
al cantar esta copla,
roja de amores.
Rosa morena,
de la escena federal,
yo se que tu alma se quema,
de una pasión que es mortal,
rosa sin penas,
todos la vieron pasar,
y en su garganta morena,
sangraba un rojo collar.
Abuelita Dominga,
siempre lloraba,
al recordar la historia,
de amor y sangre,
y me dió esta guitarra,
para que un día,
la cante como nunca,
la canto nadie.

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