"choose your ending, or mix them"). the final bar shown above is the first of four, here were the others -> 2 (ends on the 'wrong' chord, annoyingly common gimmick in tango music ;)

All the song is recalling the good times gone-by. He especially remembers his mother (santa viejita) and his little fianceé, both dead and whom he misses without finding comfort. It is, definitively, a sad quite melancholic goodbye. --- Adiós, muchachos, compañeros de mi vida, barra querida de aquellos tiempos. Me toca a mí hoy emprender la retirada, debo alejarme de mi buena muchachada. Adiós, muchachos. Ya me voy y me resigno... Contra el destino nadie la talla... Se terminaron para mí todas las farras, mi cuerpo enfermo no resiste más... Acuden a mi mente recuerdos de otros tiempos, de los bellos momentos que antaño disfruté cerquita de mi madre, santa viejita, y de mi noviecita que tanto idolatré... ¿Se acuerdan que era hermosa, más bella que una diosa y que ebrio yo de amor, le di mi corazón, mas el Señor, celoso de sus encantos, hundiéndome en el llanto me la llevó? Es Dios el juez supremo. No hay quien se le resista. Ya estoy acostumbrado su ley a respetar, pues mi vida deshizo con sus mandatos al robarme a mi madre y a mi novia también. Dos lágrimas sinceras derramo en mi partida por la barra querida que nunca me olvidó y al darles, mis amigos, mi adiós postrero, les doy con toda mi alma mi bendición...
