"Collage of Buenos Aires , Tango"

                              "Collage of Buenos Aires, Tango"
                                                         (Tango)
                                             to my daughter Daniela Andrea Guasti
The echo of the noise,
From the "stadium of Boca"
tardecer on a cold Sunday.
The soccer report  of "Victor Hugo"· ...
Sneaking around the neighborhood.
A vacant lot,
the smell of "wet weed.
A mirror that reflects the stars,
beneath a veneer gallery
A bark in the distance ...
A patio dumb, and your figure,
geraniums, wisteria, geraniums ...

"Puddles" melancholic ...
After a rain.
Water on the pavement,
 wet leaves of "plátanos" in the villages,
lights, which are reflected.
Two rose to the street,
 glorious in your house, "Villa Park"
Your memory ... in that neighborhood ...
"Villa Urquiza, Villa Devoto, Saavedra."
The madness in the streets "Corrientes" ...
The gray fervent "Barracks".

The silhouette of "Borges" for "Florida"
An espresso in "The Rod" ...
Federico Manuel Peralta Ramos, and his "Gánicos".
The biting humor .. The "tired",
 My last hug ...
The threshold of your home.
"Manzi" "New Pompei" ...
The "thin" Spinetta in the "low" Belgrano.
The well stealing your smile,
melodrama, you told me.
"Pugliese" in "Scalabrini Ortiz" ...
The "obelisk" and figure "Gardel".
"Piazzolla , fighting to the" pineapple "...
Discussing whether this is "tango" ... or not.
The "porro" and "beer" shared in a corner,
The full moon night ... with ...

"Mataderos"... traditionalism,
Fair and "speckled black, Creole" ..."Gauchos"...
Solidarity, arrogance,
the "verba lunfa" .. free hand.

The night on the town ...
Bandoneon for "tourists", "drunked" ... "Travas"
Catullus, Cadícamo Discépolo, Contursi,
He pear, Exposito, Facundo Cabral, Ferrer and his "Ballads."
"Pappo" in "La Paternal", "Miguel Abuelo in" College "
"Charly" in avenue "Coronel Diaz."
The "fat" Troilo playing a "silent"
The "" Polish "Goyeneche with" Drizzle "...
The absurdity, the humid atmosphere ...
the sun , on "Avenue of the Incas" ...
To say "Buenos Aires" to "twelve-tone music" ...
This is my Buenos Aires ...
What a privilege to live here ... ...
