Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Que bailen los que vienen pa’ bailar, que escuchen los que quieran escuchar. Pa’ todos hay un tango acompasado, pretencioso y retobado reinando en mi ciudad. Yo canto porque vivo la emoción del tango cadencioso y . Yo canto cuando alguno pega el grito que hay un tango compadrito buscando un corazón. Pa’ que se callen los que andan divulgando que el tango es triste, que es danza y son del fango. Pa’ que se callen les voy pasando el dato: mi tango es danza triste, pero es canción de rango. Pa’ que se callen les mando en dos por cuatro, esta cadencia viril que se hace canto. Si son sensibles, verán que no es del fango aquel que envuelve en tangos su corazón. Que bailen los que vienen pa’ bailar, que sigan escuchando los demás. Hoy tengo la emoción envuelta en tango y es por eso que me agrando al son de su compás. Yo canto porque vivo la emoción del tango cadencioso y . Yo canto cuando alguno pega el grito que hay un tango compadrito buscando un corazón.

Let those who come to dance dance dance, let those who want to listen listen listen. There's a tango for everyone, pretentious and frolicking reigning in my city. I sing because I live the emotion of the rhythmic and compadrón tango. I sing when someone cries out that there is a tango compadrito looking for a heart. So that those who go around spreading the word that tango is sad, that it is a dance and the sound of mud. So that they shut up, I'll pass on the information: my tango is a sad dance, but it is a song of rank. So that they shut up I send them in two by four, this virile cadence that becomes song. If you are sensitive, you will see that it is not from the mud the one who wraps his heart in tangos. Let those who come to dance dance dance, let the others continue listening. Today my emotion is wrapped in tango and that's why I get excited to the sound of its beat. I sing because I live the emotion of the rhythmic and compadrón tango. I sing when someone shouts that there is a tango compadrito that there is a tango compadrito looking for a heart.
