Lyrics
Patotero,
rey del bailongo,
patotero,
sentimental.
Escondés bajo tu risa
muchas ganas de llorar.
Ya los años
se van pasando
y en mi pecho
no entró un querer.
En mi vida tuve minas, muchas minas
pero nunca una mujer...

Cuando tomo dos copas de más,
en mi pecho comienza a surgir
el recuerdo de aquella fiel mujer
que me quiso de verdad,
y yo, ingrato, abandoné.
De su amor me burlé sin mirar
que pudiera sentirlo después,
sin saber
que los años al correr 
iban, crueles, a amargar
a este rey del cabaret.

¡Pobrecita!
¡Cómo lloraba
cuando ciego
la eché a rodar...!
La patota me miraba
y... ¡no es de hombre el aflojar!

Patotero
rey del bailongo,
de ella siempre
te acordarás.
Hoy ríes... pero tu risa
¡sólo es ganas de llorar!
English translation
Patotero,
king of the bailongo,
patotero,
sentimental.
You hide under your laughter
a lot of desire to cry.
Already the years
are passing by
and in my chest
no love has entered my chest.
In my life I have had girls, many girls
but never a woman...

When I have two drinks too many
the memory of that faithful woman
the memory of that faithful woman
who really loved me,
and I, ungrateful, abandoned.
Of her love I mocked without looking
that I could feel it later,
not knowing
that the years, as they went by
were cruelly going to embitter
this king of the cabaret.

Poor thing!
How he cried
when, blind
I rolled her over...!
The duck was looking at me
y... it's not manly to let up!

Patotero
king of the bailongo,
of her you will always
you will always remember.
Today you laugh... but your laughter
is only a desire to cry!
