Lyrics

Español

¡Oiga, mozo!, Escúcheme un momentito, Pues quiero hacerle un pedido Es un tango que es toda mi pena. ¡Vaya, mozo!, Si la orquesta no se acuerda, El tango comienza así: “Era una linda pebeta De labios muy rojos Y ojazos muy tristes, Cuando algún tango cantaba Su voz hablaba de un sueño De amores que hoy ya no existen”. ¡Vaya, mozo!, Aunque solo al escucharlo, El tango comienza así: “Era una linda pebeta De labios muy rojos Y ojazos muy tristes, Era como una muñeca, Y demostrando una mueca La vi pasar a mi lado”.

English · machine translation

Hey, waiter! Listen to me for a moment, Well, I want to make you a request. It's a tango that is all my sorrow. Well, waiter! If the orchestra doesn't remember, The tango begins like this: "She was a pretty little girl With very red lips And very sad eyes, When she sang a tango Her voice spoke of a dream Of loves that today no longer exist". Wow, boy! Although only by listening to it, The tango begins like this: "She was a pretty little girl With very red lips And very sad eyes, She was like a doll, And showing a grimace I saw her pass me by.
