Mientras la luna serena
while the serene moon
Baña con su luz de plata
bathes in its silver light
Como un sollozo de pena
like a sob of sorrow
Se oye cantar su canción
You hear her sing her song
La canción dulce y sentida
The sweet and heartfelt song
Que todo el barrio escuchaba
That the whole neighborhood listened
Cuando el silencio reinaba
when silence reigned
En el viejo caserón
in the old house
Cuentan que fue la piba de arrabal
They say that it was the girl from the suburbs
La flor del barrio aquel
The flower of that neighborhood
Que amaba un payador
that a payador loved
Sólo para ella cantó el amor
Only for her did love sing
Al pie de su ventanal
At the foot of your window
Pero otro amor por aquella mujer
But another love for that woman
Nació en el corazón
She was born in the heart
Del taura más mentao
Of the taura more mentao
Que un farol en duelo criollo vio
that a criollo dueling bluff saw
Bajo su débil luz, morir los dos
Under her dim light, both die
Por eso gime en las noches
That's why he moans at night
De tan silenciosa calma
Of so silent calm
Esa canción que es el broche
That song that is the brooch
De aquel amor que pasó
Of that love that happened
De pena la linda piba
Too bad the pretty girl
Abrió bien anchas sus alas
She spread her wings wide
Y con su virtud y sus galas
And with her virtue and her finery
Hasta el cielo se voló
Even the sky flew
