Lyrics

Español

Sacale punta a esta milonga Que ya empezó. Sentí que esos fueyes que rezongan De corazón. Y las pebetas se han venido De “true Vuitton”. El tango requiebra la vida Y en su nota desparrama, Su amor. Tango lindo de arrabal Que yo, No lo he visto desmayar ¡Triunfó!. Tango lindo que al cantar Volcó, Su fe, su amor Varón tenés que ser.

English · machine translation

Take the edge off this milonga That has already begun. I felt that those fueyes that rozongan From the heart. And the pebetas have come From "true Vuitton". The tango requiebra life And in its note it scatters, Its love. Tango lindo de arrabal That I, I have not seen him faint He triumphed! Tango lindo que al cantar He poured, His faith, his love You have to be a man.
