Flor de noche que al sordo fragor del champán descorchado triunfás, reina loca que un juego de amor lentamente, bailando, trenzás. Tu compás es el ritmo sensual que en la alfombra retuerce el gotán y tu pinta elegante y teatral se muestra orgullosa junto a tu . Sos reina del tango, ruflera, la ciencia canera de saber bailar prendió una diadema de nobleza sobre tu cabeza reina del gotán. Tiembla en tus caderas la música rea, es la melopea que a tu corazón muy a la sordina le hace un contracanto que aumenta el quebranto de tu perdición. El gotán se te fue al corazón como un dulce de amor y es por eso que en esta canción encontrarás alegría y dolor. , milonga, seguí el jarandón, meta baile con corte y champán, ya un noche tendrás que bailar el tango grotesco del Juicio Final.

Flower of the night that to the deaf roar of uncorked champagne you triumph, mad queen that a game of love slowly, dancing, you braid. Your compass is the sensual rhythm that in the carpet twists the gotán and your elegant and theatrical look proudly shows itself next to your bacán. You are the queen of tango, papusa ruflera, the canera science of knowing how to dance ignited a diadem of noble nobility on your head queen of the gotán. Trembles in your hips the real music, is the melopea that to your heart very much to the mute makes a counter song that increases the pain of your perdition. The gotán went to your heart like a sweet chamuyo of love and that's why in this song you'll find joy and pain. Che, milonga, follow the jarandón, meta baile with corte and champagne, and one night you'll have to dance the grotesque tango of the Last Judgment.
