Tres amigos

Music and lyrics: Enrique Cadícamo.

From my lived pages, I always carry a great memory
my emotions do not forget them; time passes, and I remember them more.

Three friends always went
in that youth…
It was the most talked about trio
who could have walked
through those southern streets.

Where will you go, Pancho Alsina?
Where will you go, Balmaceda?
I wait for you on the corner
from Suárez and Necochea…
Today, no one keeps this appointment.
Already, my life has taken a detour.
Today, the old guard yells at me:
“Who has scattered that trio?”
But I still remember 
my two friends yesterday…

Once, back in Portones, they saved me from death.
Encounters are never lacking when a poor person has fun.
And again, back in Barracas,
I paid them that debt…
They always saw us together…
That friendship had us.
It’s always tied to all three.
