Yira
/Sounds like "YEE" (as in "year") + "rah" (as in "rapper")/
A sex worker on the streets, in Buenos Aires lunfardo slang. The word also gives rise to the verb "yirar," meaning to wander aimlessly. The yira is a classic figure in tango culture and appears throughout the lyrics of Discépolo and other great tango songwriters.
“Tango has always written about the yira who returns to the same neighborhood every night.”
“She walked the streets of the center until dawn.”
