Lyrics
Aquí está la yunta brava
De los bailongos de medio pelo,
Abriendo cancha pa´ que salgan
Los que quieran bailar un tango como yo.
Que lo sepan, si no saben
Que a mí, ninguno me pisa el poncho,
Yo soy el milonguero más mentado
Que en los salones se lució.
 
Tengo patente de guapo
Entre los taitas del barrio,
Soy genial para los lances de amor
Por mi verba tan florida.
Y fue en un baile en Pompeya
Al son de un tango compadre,
Que entre todos, esta yunta
Se lució mejor.
 
Si hablaran esas noches del Victoria,
Del tiempo de la Parda Sinforosa,
Dirían la verdad de nuestra historia
La historia de los guapos que se van.
La gente de alto rango se paraba
Y al vernos en un corte con quebrada,
Mirando las corridas y sentadas
Nos aplaudían con mucho afán.
English translation
Here is the brave team
Of the half-ass dancers,
Opening up the field so that they can come out
Those who want to dance a tango like me.
Let them know, if they don't know
That no one steps on my poncho,
I'm the most talked-about milonguero
That in the saloons he shone.
 
I have a patent of handsome
Among the taitas of the neighborhood,
I'm great for love affairs
Because of my flowery speech.
And it was at a dance in Pompeya
To the sound of a tango compadre,
That among all, this yunta
Showed off the best.
 
If they talked about those nights of the Victoria,
Of the time of the Parda Sinforosa,
They would tell the truth of our history
The story of the handsome ones who leave.
The people of high rank would stop
And when they saw us in a cut with quebrada,
Watching the bullfights and sitting down
They would applaud us with much eagerness.
