Caballo de calesita

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

Esclavo del deber, vuelta tras vuelta Acompasando siempre una canción, Sin inmutar se va Dejando su gotán Al dulce piberío. En la barriada crece su figura Motivo de entusiasmo y bienestar, Pues hay que adivinar, Tras de su lento andar Que su ternura es sin igual. Caballo de calesita Que con los ojos vendados, Vas recorriendo distancias Y siempre estás estancado. Caballo de bondad Juguete de placer, Hoy que recuerdo el pasado Pebete me vuelvo a ver.

Slave to duty, turn after turn Accompanying always a song, Undeterred he goes Leaving his gotán To the sweet piberío. In the neighborhood grows his figure Motive of enthusiasm and well-being, For it is necessary to guess, Behind her slow gait That her tenderness is without equal. Rickshaw horse That blindfolded, You go through distances And you're always stuck. Horse of kindness Toy of pleasure, Today that I remember the past Pebete I see myself again.
