Lyrics
En el tango soy tan taura
que cuando hago un doble corte
corre la voz por el Norte,
si es que me encuentro en el Sud.
Y pa bailar la Yuyeta
si es que me visto a la moda
la gente me dice toda
Dios le dé, Dios le dé, vida y salud.

Calá, che, calá.
Siga el piano, che,
dése cuenta usted
y después dirá
si con este taita
podrán por el Norte
calá che, qué corte,
calá, che, calá.

No hay teatro que no conozca
pues hasta soy medio artista
y luego tengo una vista
que hasta dicen que soy luz.
Y la forma de mi cuerpo
arreglada a mi vestido
me hacen mozo muy querido,
lo juro, lo juro por esta cruz.

Yo soy el taita del barrio,
pregúnteselo a cualquiera.
No es esta la vez primera
en que me han de conocer.
Yo vivo por San Cristóbal,
me llaman Don Juan Cabello,
anóteselo en el cuello
y ahí va, y ahí va, así me quieren ver.
English translation
In the tango I'm so taura
that when I make a double cut
word spreads through the North,
if I find myself in the South.
And to dance the Yuyeta
if I dress in the fashion
people tell me all
God give you, God give you life and health.

Calá, che, calá.
Follow the piano, man,
you realize
and then you will say
if with this taita
you will be able to go to the North
Calá, che, what a cut,
Calá, che, calá, calá.

There is no theater that I don't know
because I'm even half an artist
and then I have a sight
that they even say I am light.
And the shape of my body
arranged to my dress
make me a very dear young man,
I swear it, I swear it by this cross.

I am the taita of the neighborhood,
ask anyone.
This is not the first time
that you will meet me.
I live in San Cristobal,
they call me Don Juan Cabello,
write it on your collar
and there it goes, and there it goes, that's how they want to see me.
