You are the humblest street,Sos la calle más humilde,
from my town of Mercedes:de mi tierra mercedina:
it starts at the poplarsen los álamos comienza
and ends at the mill.y en el molino termina.

Narrow street, narrow street,Calle angosta, calle angosta,
I must have been barked at by the dogs!¡si me habrán ladrao los chocos!
It was a tuntún and it wasUn tuntún era y estaba
a two-peaked tune.a dos picos la tonada.
Narrow street, narrow streetCalle angosta, calle angosta
the one with a single sidewalk.la de una vereda sola.

and in homage to the localsy en homenaje de criollos
they always sang our own.siempre lo nuestro cantaban.
