Lyrics

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

En el tango soy tan taura que cuando hago un doble corte corre la voz por el Norte, si es que me encuentro en el Sud. Y pa bailar la Yuyeta si es que me visto a la moda la gente me dice toda Dios le dé, Dios le dé, vida y salud. Calá, , calá. Siga el piano, , dése cuenta usted y después dirá si con este podrán por el Norte calá , qué corte, calá, , calá. No hay teatro que no conozca pues hasta soy medio artista y luego tengo una vista que hasta dicen que soy luz. Y la forma de mi cuerpo arreglada a mi vestido me hacen mozo muy querido, lo juro, lo juro por esta cruz. Yo soy el del barrio, pregúnteselo a cualquiera. No es esta la vez primera en que me han de conocer. Yo vivo por San Cristóbal, me llaman Don Juan Cabello, anóteselo en el cuello y ahí va, y ahí va, así me quieren ver.

In the tango I'm so taura that when I make a double cut word spreads through the North, if I find myself in the South. And to dance the Yuyeta if I dress in the fashion people tell me all God give you, God give you life and health. Calá, che, calá. Follow the piano, man, you realize and then you will say if with this taita you will be able to go to the North Calá, che, what a cut, Calá, che, calá, calá. There is no theater that I don't know because I'm even half an artist and then I have a sight that they even say I am light. And the shape of my body arranged to my dress make me a very dear young man, I swear it, I swear it by this cross. I am the taita of the neighborhood, ask anyone. This is not the first time that you will meet me. I live in San Cristobal, they call me Don Juan Cabello, write it on your collar and there it goes, and there it goes, that's how they want to see me.
