-- Arrabal --
El negro bebió
Bailando candombe
Lágrimas de su tambor
Genial
Pociones de amor
Volcó en mi guitarra
La luz de su redención
Final
Esos cueros llevan sueños
Al otro lado del mar
Y un viento de arrabal
La noche silbó
Su antigua milonga
Y en mi país se oyó
Cantar
Esos cueros llevan sueños
Al otro lado del mar
Y un viento de arrabal
-- Ghetto --
The black drunk
Dancing candombe
Tears from his great drum
Love potions
Poured in my guitar
The light of its final redemption
Those leathers carry dreams
To the other side of the sea
And a wind from the ghetto
The night whistled
Its old milonga
And in my country it was heard
Singing
Those leathers carry dreams
To the other side of the sea
And a wind from the ghetto
