Inmortal Pugliese.
Le sacastes las lagrimas a los badoneones.
Con las teclas del tu piano hicistes chillar el sentimiento argentino.
Con tus letras supistes expresar el clamor patrio.
Con tus violines hicistes llorar a tu pu pueblo digno.
Con tu corazón lleno de sentimiento pudistes llegar a los arrabales.
Con tus tangos elevastes a ese pueblo a la inmortalidad.
Con tu profundo amor por los pobres, les distes vos por medio de tus cantos.
Oir tus tangos, es como masticar los sueños mundanos.
Es sentir lo más profundo por la vida.
Que Dios te tenga en su gloria.

It’s not a direct translation since the song uses so much slang it’s pretty much impossible to translate it 1 to 1, but this is pretty much what he says:

With the tall Pantaleón,
Pepino and the crazy Juan,
the hairy Santillán,
Tito and the crooked Ramón,
We went out with the intention
of going to a shoddy dance
to the benefit of a convict
that was imprisoned in Devoto
and accused for matters of theft.

(spoken) Turns out the dude is from a good family,
but he has a problem; the man is a chicken collector

To the buffet for the drinks
went I, Tito, and “the Hairy”,
who was already kind of mute
because of the drunkenness he had;
But there I found a beautiful girl drinking.*
There were the guitarist Augusto,
Gatillo, the cut Potranca
and "the deaf", with a drunkenness
that was frightening to see.
(* literally “I found a cria drinking that gave pleasure/contentment.” Cria is a young animal. I assume he means a pretty woman because otherwise I have no clue what it means)

(spoken) this pal, always drunk! And to think- (I can’t understand what he says next)

And as far as the ambiance of women
there were the ones from Mendieta
with the skinny Pañoleta,
the Paja Brava and the China,
Pichota, the Golondrina,
the shoplifter Encarnación,
the fat girl from Corralón,
Grela from Puñalada,
Sarita from Cortada,
And parda from Callejón
(There are a bunch of nicknames here that I didn’t translate because I didn’t know how, and I thought it wasn’t important. I wasn’t sure if the last three places were real or jokes; puñalada means stab, cortada means cut, and callejon alleyway. He says them as if those are proper names of places, though, and I can see some places actually being called that, so I didn’t translate them)

(spoken) The ambiance was very, very someria (poor, lacking refinement)

In dancing they were going at it,
the crowd was wild;
between cuts and breaks (dance moves typical in tango and milonga)
they were dancing a milonga
A black party girl
dancing with a dude,
stomped “the crazy”
right in the bunion
if Santillán doesn’t get involved,
“the crazy” will punch them

(spoken) they always step on the crazy’s bunion, the crazy has a bunion that looks like a milanesa (a common food in Argentina, it’s flat, the foot of his friend looks flat like a milanesa because he always gets stepped on)

But the dude very shamless
punched the crazy
the crazy fell like a toad, his head making a sound (he hit his head because of the fall)
Pañoleta intervened to alleviate the situation
the dude wanted to beat her
but Pantaleon messed him up with a punch

Soon it got rotten;
punches, blows and haymakers
Santillán fired a shot
with a gun he had
all the people ran
the house was left empty
and to end the evening
I stole a bandoneon
Pantaleon a raincoat
and the crazy a swollen mouth (because he got beat up)

It has a lot of slang so it was hard to translate, some terms are so old and obsolete not even my mother knew what they meant, I had to guess some stuff by googleing and context.

Esta milonga habla del barrio de Pompeya más precisamente del cruce de las avenidas Riestra y Centenera y en mi niñez el loco mingo era parte del paisaje junto a sus hermanas la paja brava y la China!!! hermosos recuerdos!!!

Cuantos recuerdos Jorgito Vidal...cuando dormías en la mesa de billar del bar de Don Pedro. Mi Dios parece que fue ayer y han pasado 65 años.
