Lyrics
Tres morrongos elegantes
De bastón galera y guantes
Dando muchas volteretas
Prepararon sus maletas
Miau, miau, miau, miau
Michi michi miau
Toda la ratonería
Preguntó con picardía:
— «Michifuces, dónde van?»
— «Nos vamos a Tucumán.»
Miau, miau, miau, miau
Michi michi miau
Pues les han pasado el dato
Que hay concursos para gato
Los tres michis allá van
En tranvía a Tucumán
Con cautela muy gatuna
Cruzan la Mate de Luna
Y se tiran de cabeza
Al Concurso de Belleza
Mas como el concurso era
Para Gato… y Chacarera
Los echaron del salón
Sin ninguna explicación
Miau, miau, miau, miau
Michi michi miau
Volvieron poco después
Las galeras al revés
Con abrojos en el pelo
Y las colas por el suelo
Miau, miau, miau, miau
Michi michi miau
Le maullaron la verdad
A toda la vecindad:
— «Tucumán es feo y triste
Porque el gato allá no existe.»
Los ratones escucharon
Y en seguida se marcharon
Los ratones allá van
En tranvía a Tucumán
Lyrics translation
Three elegant brunettes
Baton galley and gloves
Giving lots of flips
They packed their bags.
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
Michi michi Meow
The whole mousetrap
He asked with Picardy:
- "Michifuces, Where Are you going?»
- "We're going to Tucuman.»
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
Michi michi Meow
Well, they've been given the data.
That there are cat contests
The three michis go there
By tram to Tucuman
With very catchy caution
They cross the Moon Mate
And they pull their heads
To the beauty contest
But as the contest was
For cat ... and Chacarera
They were kicked out of the living room.
Without any explanation
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
Michi michi Meow
They came back soon after
The galleys upside down
With curls on the hair
And the tails on the floor
Meow, Meow, Meow, Meow
Michi michi Meow
They gave him the truth.
To the whole neighborhood:
- "Tucuman is ugly and sad
Because the cat doesn't exist there.»
The mice heard
And then they left
The mice go there
By tram to Tucuman
