Buenos Aires is the capital city of the Republic of Argentina. It´s located in the mid-east of the country, on the River Plate, "one of the widest in the world". In this city live more than three million souls, and if we also include the residents of "Greater Buenos Aires" this total rises to more than seven million.
Buenos Aires is the most exciting and cosmopolitan city in the country. This city has a vertiginous lifestyle and a dizzling choice of culture, art and after-dark entertainment. Buenos Aires has a lot to offer. There is so much to see and do there!
Music by: Carlos Gardel Lyrics by: Alfredo Lepera Translated by: Joseph Del Genio
Pebeta is a lunfardo word, which is the equivalent of "babe" in English.
Ciudad porteña is Buenos Aires, the "port city." When used as "los porteños," it refers to the people of Buenos Aires.
cuando yo te vuelva a ver,
no habra mas penas ni olvido.
El farolito de la calle en que naci
fue el centinela de mis promesas de amor,
bajo su inquieta lucecita yo la vi
a mi pebeta luminosa como un sol.
Hoy que la suerte quiere que te vuelva a ver,
ciudad porteña de mi unico querer,
y oigo la queja
de un bandoneón,
dentro del pecho pide rienda el corazón.
Mi Buenos Aires
tierra florida
donde mi vida terminaré.
Bajo tu amparo
no hay desengaños,
vuelan los años
se olvida el dolor.
En caravana
los recuerdos pasan
como una estela
dulce de emoción,
quiero que sepas
que al evocarte
se van las penas
del corazon.
Las ventanitas de mis calles de arrabal,
donde sonrie una muchachita en flor;
quiero de nuevo yo volver a contemplar
aquellos ojos que acarician al mirar.
En la cortada mas maleva una canción,
dice su ruego de coraje y de pasion;
una promesa
y un suspirar
borro una lagrima de pena aquel cantar.
Mi Buenos Aires querido...
cuando yo te vuelva a ver...
no habra mas penas ni olvido...
the day I see you again,
there will be no more sorrow or forgetfulness
The lamp of the street where I was born
was witness to my promises of love,
It was under its dim light that I saw her
I saw my pebeta as bright as a sun.
Today luck wants me to see you again,
you my beloved city porteña,
and I hear the lament
of a bandoneón,
asking for his heart to be set free.
My Buenos Aires,
land of flowers
where I will spend my last days.
Under your protection
there are no delusions,
years fly by,
pain is forgotten.
In caravan
memories go by
like a trail
sweet of emotion,
I want you to know
that when I call you
sorrow leaves
my heart.
The tiny windows of my streets of arrabal,
where a young girl gives a smile;
I want to stare once again
at those eyes that fondle with a look.
In the toughest back alley, a song
says its prayer of courage and of passion;
a promise
and a sigh
wiped away a tear of sadness, that singing.
My beloved Buenos Aires,
the day I see you again,
there will be no more sorrow or forgetfulness
