Viva igual que la luz,
Bella cual una flor,
Llena de bondad
Y de candor.
Es violín su cantar,
cascabel su reír,
Y un zorzal su voz:
Ella es así...
Al cantar
Quisiera yo pintar,
Tu figura tan risueña
Mujer porteña.
Y decir
A quien me quiera oír,
Al son de esta milonguita:
Ella es así...
(Unsung part)
Cuando da su querer
Es ardor y pasión,
Es rubor, lealtad
Y abnegación.
Sin rencor, noble da
Su perdón al sufrir,
La más vil traición:
Ella es así...
Corazón de mujer
Corazón maternal,
Ilusión azul
Calor de hogar.
Es capaz, sin temor
De matar y morir,
Por amor filial:
Ella es así...

Sharp like the light,
Beautiful as a flower,
Filled with kindness
And with innocence.
Her singing is a violin,
Her laughter a silver bell,
And her voice a thrush:
She is just like that...
As I sing,
I would wish to paint
Your smiling figure,
Woman of Buenos Aires.
And to tell—
To anyone who cares to listen—
To the rhythm of this little milonga:
She is just like that...
(Unsung part)
When she gives her love,
It is ardor and passion;
It is modesty, loyalty,
And self-sacrifice.
Without rancor, she nobly grants
Her forgiveness, even when suffering
The vilest betrayal:
She is just like that...
A woman's heart,
A maternal heart;
A blue dream,
The warmth of home.
She is capable—without fear—
Of killing or dying
For the sake of filial love:
She is just like that...
