Lyrics
Español
Aquí tienen a El Torito, el criollo más compadrito que ha pisao la población. Donde quiera me hago ver cuando llega la ocasión. Pa' la danza soy ladino, y en cualquier baile argentino donde yo me he presentao, al mozo más bailarín he dejao acobardao. Cuando hago una sentadita de aquéllas que yo sé hacer, es el disloque, señores, pues me tengo mucha fe. Mi cuerpo es como un resorte cuando me pongo a bailar, y en todas partes el premio a la fija sé ganar. Yo tengo una morochita que es muy pierna y comadrita en el arte de bailar, y tadavía no halló quién la pueda aventajar. Todo el mundo nos alaba y somos la yunta brava conocida por aquí, y nadie se presentó que nos pueda competir. En los bailes nacionales nadie nos puede igualar, pues yo y mi prenda formamos La pareja sin rival. Lo mismo bailamos tango que gato con relación, la zamacueca, el cielito, la huella y el pericón.

Here is El Torito, the most compadrito criollo that has ever walked the town. Wherever I want to be seen when the occasion arises. For the dance I am ladino, and in any Argentine dance where I have presented myself, the best dancer I have left cowed. When I do a little sit-down of those that I know how to do, it's the disloque, gentlemen, because I have a lot of faith. My body is like a spring when I start dancing, and everywhere the prize I know how to win. I have a little brunette who is very leggy and comadrita in the art of dancing, and she still hasn't found who can outdo her. Everyone praises us and we are the brave yunta known around here, and no one has come forward that can compete with us. In the national dances no one can match us, for me and my garment form The unrivaled couple. The same we dance tango as we dance the gato con relación, the zamacueca, the cielito, the huella and the pericón.
