"A bit of barrio, there in Pompeya, falling asleep on the side of the embankment. A lantern swinging on the railway barrier and the train sowing its mysteries of farewell.... That's how I remember your nights, tango barrio, with the wagons pulling into the timber yard, the moon splashing in the mud, and in the distance, the voice of the bandoneón."
