Lyrics are here, for example:

There are several different registers in the song, both spoken and
sung, with varying degrees of final s elision.

Also striking is that consonantal y, and ll, are spoken almost as [z],
which in current Argentinian Spanish is more likely to be [S]. These
tangos are mostly from the 1940s and 1950s, so 85 to 75 years old.
