Lyrics

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

Hacé el favor, Filomena y explicame hasta cuándo voy a seguir patinando desde tu casa al taller. Ya van cinco mediasuelas que les cambio a los tamangos y de flaco estoy quedando como un cacho de papel. Vos sabés que yo te quiero; no es posible este rechifle por tu culpa ando con gripe de aguantarte me oxidé. Me tenés como colimba, hay que ver cómo desfilo, pero , que este filo es porteño cien por cien. Yo te paso la pulenta que conmigo no se ensarta. Yo no le hago como el Tarta que patina al arrancar. Yo no soy como Mondiola ni el bisagra ese del Hipo, soy un mozo flor de tipo con aprontes pa' ganar. Nada de cita en el centro ni de té con masa y crema si vos sos, Filomena de San Telmo, como yo. Con tu pinta y mi cariño nos salvamos del descenso vamo' a darno' apuntamento en plaza Constitución. Andá cazando la onda de todo lo que te bato, ahí tenés todos los datos, me llamás por telefón. Yo dibujo con el lápiz trabajo en la lechería; los días de lotería preguntá por Sarampión.

Do me a favor, Filomena and explain to me until when I'm going to keep skating from your house to the workshop. It's already five half-soles that I've changed the sipes and I'm getting as skinny as a piece of paper like a piece of paper. You know that I love you; it's not possible this noise because of you I have the flu I got rusty from putting up with you. You've got me like a colimba, you have to see how I parade, but pay attention, this edge is one hundred percent porteño. I'll pass you the pulenta that he won't get on me. I don't do it like Tarta who skids when he starts. I am not like Mondiola or the hinge of the Hiccup, I'm a good looking guy with the apron to win. No appointments in the center nor tea with dough and cream if you are, che Filomena from San Telmo, like me. With your look and my love we saved ourselves from relegation we're going to take aim in Constitución Square. Go hunting for the wave of all the things I'm beating you with, there you have all the data, call me on the phone. I draw with my pencil I work in the dairy; on lottery days ask for Measles.
