Many sources claim it was published in 1919. TheOriginals claim it was written in 1882, and the first performer was Carlos Gardel in 1921.
Does anyone have more info on this?

in the Originals book I read:
written in 1919, original by Rodriguez Y Mendoza (1930). Strange..

Many sources say this was written in 1882 by Quirino Mendoza y Cortés, but this author doesn't show up much in the credits on covers.
The first recording of the song was probably made by Trio Gonzales for Victor Records in 1919 (Male vocal duet with guitar).
Rec date: 12/15/1919 (New York, New York)
Released on Victor 72563.
B-side was Adelita, another Spanish classic.
