Lyrics

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

Con el tirao sobre un ojo y un amago de tango al andar, sin apuro, sobrando de reojo, el último guapo vendrá al arrabal. Entrará por la calle angostita y al pasar frente al viejo portón silbará pa' que vuelva a la cita la que es dueña de su corazón. El farolito perdido, el callejón sin salida y el conventillo florido saldrán del olvido de nuevo a la vida. El almacén de los curdas, la luna sobre un puñal, una caricia y un beso serán el regreso del viejo arrabal. Con un fueye que es puro rezongo y dos violas cinchando al costao, otra vez, del antiguo bailongo el último guapo será el envidiao. Jugará con desprecio su vida por el sol de un florido percal y se irá, sin llevar ni una herida, el último guapo, del viejo arrabal.

English · machine translation

With the funyi pulled over one eye and a hint of tango while walking, without hurrying, leftover from the corner of my eye, the last handsome one will come to the suburb. He will enter through the narrow street and as he passes in front of the old gate he'll whistle for her to return to the rendezvous the girl who owns his heart. The lost streetlamp, the dead end street and the flowery tenement will emerge from oblivion back to life. The warehouse of the curdas, the moon on a dagger, a caress and a kiss will be the return of the old suburb. With a fueye that is pure rezongo and two violas cinchando al costao, again, of the old bailongo the last handsome one will be the envied one. He'll play with contempt his life for the sun of a flowery percale and he'll go away, without a single wound, the last handsome one, of the old suburb.
