Lyrics

Ella vive el día en San Telmo
En La Boca de noche está
Allá la llaman bacana
Aquí busca aunque abrochada está
En sus pasos el tango
En la bocha un clavo pá doblar
Bajo una luna porteña
Bamboleando su martona va Qué harías vos
De este viento que
Le sube de las piernas
Hasta el corazón
Qué harías vos
De estos ojos negros que
Se abotonan bien
Con ella y con la noche
Estos hombres borrachos
Que le hablan siempre de ellos
Con lengua de tabaco
Ellos abren pronto así sus labios
Por cada escarcha que cae
Una rosa abierta ella cultiva
Hasta que le escupen polvo de oro
Que en el profundo centro de Su deseo cruel arriba
Y qué harías vos
De este viento que
Le sube de las piernas
Hasta el corazón
Qué harías vos
De esto ojos negros que
Se abotonan bien
Con ella y con la noche
Cuando su fulano
Aquel chanta se fue
La regadera al suelo
Como una taza se cayó
Aún mina fiel
Hasta que se mueva el día
Bajo las estrellas es turra
En esta cegante noche de Lunfardía
Y qué harías vos
De este viento que
Le sube de las piernas
Hasta el corazón
Qué harías vos
De esto ojos negros que
Se abotonan bien
Con ella y con la noche
Adriano Celentano —

Lyrics translation

She lives the day in San Telmo
In the night mouth is
They call her cool over there.
Here she looks even though she's buckled
In his footsteps the tango
On the ball a shovel nail bend
Under a porteña Moon
Swaying his martona goes What Would you do
From this wind that
It goes up from her legs
To the heart
What would you do
Of these black eyes that
They Button well
With her and with the night
These drunk men
They always tell you about them
With tobacco tongue
They soon open their lips like this
For every frost that falls
An open Rose she cultivates
Until they spit gold dust on him
That in the deep center of his cruel desire above
And what would you do
From this wind that
It goes up from her legs
To the heart
What would you do
From this black eyes that
They Button well
With her and with the night
When your guy
That song is gone
The sprinkler to the ground
As a cup fell
Still mine faithful
Until the day moves
Under the stars is turra
On this blinding night of Lunfardia
And what would you do
From this wind that
It goes up from her legs
To the heart
What would you do
From this black eyes that
They Button well
With her and with the night
