Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Mezcla rara de Museta y de Mimí con caricias de Rodolfo y de Schaunard, era la flor de París que un sueño de novela trajo al arrabal... Y en el loco divagar del cabaret, al arrullo de algún tango , alentaba una ilusión: soñaba con Des Grieux, quería ser Manon. Francesita, que trajiste, pizpireta, sentimental y coqueta la poesía del quartier, ¿quién diría que tu poema de griseta sólo una estrofa tendría: la silenciosa agonía de Margarita Gauthier? Mas la fría sordidez del arrabal. agostando la pureza de su fe, sin hallar a su Duval, secó su corazón lo mismo que un muguet. Y una noche de champán y de cocó, al arrullo funeral de un bandoneón, pobrecita, se durmió, lo mismo que Mimí, lo mismo que Manón.
English · machine translation
Rare mixture of Museta and Mimi with caresses of Rodolfo and Schaunard, she was the flower of Paris that a dream of a novel brought to the suburb... And in the mad wanderings of the cabaret.., to the lullaby of some tango compadrón, she encouraged an illusion: I dreamed of Des Grieux, she wanted to be Manon. French girl, you brought, pizpireta, sentimental and flirtatious the poetry of the quartier, who would say that your T-shirt poem would have only one stanza: the silent agony of Marguerite Gauthier? But the cold sordidness of the slum. withering away the purity of her faith, without finding her Duval, dried up her heart like a thrush. And one night of champagne and coconut, to the funeral lullaby of a bandoneon, poor thing, she fell asleep, the same as Mimi, the same as Manon.
