Montevideo
Vengo de un sitio perdido en el sur
Entre gallegos y tanos
Soy un criollo mestizo y cantor
Que se acunó con el tango compadrón
Madre milonga llorando su amor
Padre tambor africano
Y el paso doble de un barco a vapor
Herencia de gaditanos
Mi mistongo corazón
Late a tiempo de camión
Diario feria y mostrador
Bohemio y reo
Hecho a punta de facón
Hecho a troupe y bandoneón
Murga tango y milongón

Montevideo
I come from a place lost in the south
Among Galicians and Italians
I am a mestizo and singer
Who was cradled with the compadron tango
Mother milonga crying for her love
African drum father
And the double step of a steamboat
Inheritance from the people of Cadiz
My mixed-race heart
Beats in time with the truck
Daily fair and counter
Bohemian and prisoner
Made with a knife point
Made with troupe and bandoneon
Murga tango and milonga
