Lyrics
El cachafaz es un tipo
de vestir muy elegante
y en su presencia arrogante
se destaca un gran señor.
El cachafaz, donde quiera,
lo han de encontrar muy tranquilo
y si saca algún filo
se convierte en picaflor.

El cachafaz, bien lo saben,
que es famoso bailarín
y anda en busca de un festín
para así, florearse más.
El cachafaz cae a un baile
recelan los prometidos,
y tiemblan los maridos
cuando cae el cachafaz.

El cachafaz, cuando cae a un bailecito
se larga; pero muy de parada
y no respeta ni a casada;
y si es soltera, mejor.
Con mil promesas de ternura
les oferta, como todos, un mundo de grandezas
y nadie sabe que la pieza no ha pagado
y anda en busca afligido, el acreedor.
English translation
The cachafaz is a very
very elegant dresser
and in his arrogant presence
a great lord stands out.
The cachafaz, wherever he goes,
you will find him very calm
and if he takes an edge
it becomes a hummingbird.

The cachafaz, you know it well,
that he is a famous dancer
and is in search of a feast
so as to become more flamboyant.
The cachafaz falls to a dance
the betrothed are wary,
and husbands tremble
when the cachafaz falls.

The cachafaz, when it falls to a little dance
he goes away; but he's a very stop
and does not respect even a married woman;
and if she is single, even better.
With a thousand promises of tenderness
she offers them, like everyone else, a world of grandeurs
and nobody knows that the piece has not paid
and the creditor is looking for it, afflicted.
