With his lyrics, he dug the subjects that always haunted tango: the painful nostalgia for what is lost, love sufferings and the decline of life.

Instead he neither had space for humor nor for the unworried stroke, and nor even for the rhythmic emphasis of milonga.

The word último (last) appears in several titles of his works, as testimony of that parade of farewells that runs through his lyrics, where there is always pity for those who suffer and a frequent resort to alcohol as an escape.
