Lyrics
Gran vivillo de aspamento, malandrín de meta y ponga
atajate este ponchazo que te voy a sacudir,
no es que quiera deschavarte por cantar una milonga
si no porque con tus brillos vos no me vas a engrupir.
Che, bacán de rango mishio, te diré que algo me alegra,
relojearte entre la mersa que la va de Tabarís.
A vos te llaman los giles el marqués de Boccanegra
como a mi me baten «Chorro», «El herrero"o «El perdiz».
Che, Bartolo…
batí si te has vuelto colo
pa' quererte disfrazar.
Boccanegra…
hay que ver cuál es la suegra
que a vos te podrá aguantar.
Vos de negro,
tenés sólo tu prontuario
que no sé cómo escondés.
Che, Bartolo…
como reo yo te pido
que dejés el apellido
de aquel noble genovés.
Si el monóculo insolente te da un aire bacanejo
y ese empilche tan debute te barniza de marqués,
no la va del mismo modo el curdela de tu viejo
que entre gente de boliche va arrastrando su vejez.
Yo no sé con qué ganzúa has abierto ese agujero
que los reos de mi rango le llamamos «sociedad»,
pa' mi que te equivocaste, la de «negros candomberos»
es la socieda' indicada donde podés alternar.
Lyrics translation
Great aspamento vivillo, goal scoundrel and put
cut this punch I'm gonna shake you,
it's not like I want to deschavarte for singing a milonga
if not because with your brilliance you will not engulf me.
Che, nerd of rank mishio, I'll tell you something glad,
watch you among the mersa that goes of Tabaris.
The Giles call you the Marquis de Boccanegra
like me, I get "jet", "the blacksmith"or" The Partridge."
What, Bartolo…
I hit if you've turned colo
dad wants to disguise you.
Boccanegra…
you have to see which mother-in-law is
that he can handle you.
You in black,
you only have your medical records.
I don't know how you hide.
What, Bartolo…
as a prisoner I ask you
that you leave the last name
of that Genoese nobleman.
If the insolent monocle gives you a whiffy air
and that stack so early varnish you Marquis,
it's not the same as your old man's curdela.
that among bowling people is dragging their old age.
I don't know what wins you've opened that hole with.
that the inmates of my rank call it " society»,
pa 'mi You Were Wrong, The" Black candomberos»
it's the right company where you can alternate.
