Lyrics

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

Con un pucho prepotente acariciando sus labios, el chambergo levantado, muy porteño el caminar; la mirada sobradora, negra y revuelta melena, mozo guapo del suburbio con su pinta sin igual. Campeón entre las pebetas por su verbo tan florido, terror entre los malevos por su puñal cimbreador; varón de los empedrados, conocido en los balcones derecho sin vuelta de hoja con alma de . Cuando la noche rodea las callecitas del barrio cruza la estampa del guapo, como un rey del arrabal; pronto una sombra se acera, hay un temblor en los labios y un beso vibra en el alma del de aquel lugar.

English · machine translation

With an overbearing fag caressing his lips, his chamfer lifted, very porteño in his walk; the sober look, black and disheveled hair, handsome suburban boy with his peerless look. Champion among the pebetas for his flowery words, terror among the malevos for his cresting dagger; man of the cobblestones, known on the balconies straight without turning a leaf with the soul of a payador. When the night surrounds the little streets of the neighborhood crosses the stamp of the handsome, like a king of the suburb; soon a shadow is on the sidewalk, there's a tremor on the lips and a kiss vibrates in the soul of the taita of that place.

The leader is Ricardo Tanturi, 1941, with 100% of the 189 filmed dances matched to a version of this song.

55 more dances name this song but not which version, so no share counts them. “No match yet” means no filmed dance is tied to that version so far, not that nobody dances it. Dances whose music we have not identified are left out.

Choose A and B on two recordings to hear them one after the other.
