We've caught your eye across the milonga. Like any good tango, this starts with consent — nothing optional runs until you say so. What we store.

Lyrics

Español

Se acabaron los pesaos, patoteros y mentaos de coraje y decisión. Se acabaron los malos de taleros y de palos, fariñeras y facón. Se acabaron los de faca y todos la van de araca cuando llega la ocasión. Porque al de más copete lo catan y le dan flete pa' la otra población. Esos taitas que tenían la mujer de prepotencia, la van de pura decencia y no ganan pa'l bullón. Nadie se hace el pata ancha ni su pecho ensancha de puro compadrón, porque al de más copete lo catan y le dan flete pa' la otra población.

English · machine translation

No more pesaos, and the patooties and the of courage and decision. No more bad guys of taleros and sticks, fariñeras and facon. No more faca and everyone goes araca when the occasion arises. Because the one with the most they catan him and give him freight to the other town. Those taitas who had the woman of arrogance, they go with pure decency and they don't win for the bullón. No one plays the wide-legged nor does his chest widen of pure compadron, because the one with the most wealth they catan him and give him freight to the other town.
