View of a remarkable house in La Boca District, Buenos Aires, Argentina. It is placed in Caminito street, which inspired a legendary homonymous Tango. Here I enclose the words



Caminito (From Carlos Gardel famous song)

Caminito que el tiempo ha borrado,
que juntos un día nos viste pasar,
he venido por última vez,
he venido a contarte mi mal.
Caminito que entonces estabas
bordeado de trébol y juncos en flor,
una sombra ya pronto serás,
una sombra lo mismo que yo.

Desde que se fué, triste vivo yo,
caminito amigo, yo también me voy.
Desde que se fué, nunca más volvió,
seguiré sus pasos, caminito adios.

Caminito que todas las tardes,
feliz recorría, cantando mi amor,
no le digas si vuelve a pasar,
que mi llanto tu suelo regó.
Caminito cubierto de cardos,
la mano del tiempo tu huella borró,
yo a tu lado quisiera caer,
y que el tiempo nos mate a los dos.

Desde que se fué, triste vivo yo,
caminito amigo, yo también me voy.
Desde que se fué, nunca más volvió,
seguiré sus pasos, caminito adios.

    Sorry John. Those words are the lyrics of a famous Tango featured by the Argentinean singer Carlos Gardel. The song talks about certain street (caminito st) placed in La Boca district in Buenos Aires. A really unique place, one of the city landmarks.
