TIEMPOS VIEJOS lyrics

LYRICS: Manuel Romero
MUSIC: Francisco Canaro


¡Te acordás, hermano, que tiempos aquellos!
Eran otros hombres, más hombres los nuestros,
no se conocían coca, ni morfina,
los muchachos de antes no usaban gomina.
¡Te acordás, hermano, que tiempos aquellos!
Veinticinco abriles que no volverán,
Veinticinco abriles, volver a tenerlos...
¡Si cuando me acuerdo me pongo a llorar!

¿Donde están los muchachos de entonces?
Barra antigua de ayer,  ¿dónde están?
Yo y vos solos quedamos, hermano,
yo y vos solos para recordar...
¿Te acordás, las mujeres aquellas
minas fieles de gran corazón,
que en los bailes de Laura, peleaban
cada cual defendiendo su amor?

¿Te acordás, hermano, la rubia Mireya?
que quité en lo de Hansen al guapo Rivera?
Casi me suicido una noche por ella
y hoy es una pobre mendiga harapienta.
¿Te acordás, hermano, lo linda que era?
Se formaba rueda pa' verla bailar.
Cuando por la calle, hoy la veo tan vieja
doy vuelta a la cara, y me pongo a llorar.

Quote of the Day
In tango, the relationship between lead and follower, man and woman, is so intense and all consuming, that there is simply no time for small talk. The last man I danced with, I know more intricately in many ways than his lover: I know that he perspires in a tiny spot above his brow; that when the dance slows and our connection is tight, his breathing almost stops; that when my leg sweeps his, he arches his neck imperceptibly upwards; that when another couple got too close he subconsciously enclosed me in a protective embrace; and that his hand rested so delicately on the flesh of my back. Yet all I know about him are his name and his country of origin. Small talk is a luxury not afforded to us tango addicts. - Anastasia Demaggio
