VIEJA MILONGA lyrics

LYRICS: Samuel Castriota
MUSIC: Eugenio Cárdenas


Callóse la gente que el patio llenaba,
hubo un cuchicheo pidiendo atención
y del viejo fueye como si llorara
la vieja milonga así les habló:
"Yo soy la vieja milonga que hizo temblar,
con sus notas melodiosas,
a los mozos y las mozas
que eran el alma del arrabal.
Yo soy el tango genuino y sentimental,
el que alegró la muchachada,
mientras que en la madugada
quedó vibrando el eco del ritmo triunfal.
Una historia maleva yo guardo en cada nota
y he visto la derrota del más guapo varón.
Yo soy el tango puro, sin variación ni brillo,
que allá en los "conventiyos" su espíritu dejó.
Me han llevado a los salones 
y han querido transformarme;
pero aunque quieran cambiarme 
vivo con mis propios sones.
Traigo en el alma la vieja emoción
de aquellos guapos que allá en un callejón
hicieron respetar su vida y su canción".
Callóse la gente que el patio llenaba
hubo un cuchicheo pidiendo atención
y del viejo fueye como si llorara
la vieja milonga así les habló:
"Yo soy la vieja milonga que hizo temblar."

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
