The Cheerful Black
I am the black man who is happy,
singing life
it usually happens;
and who never feels sorry,
because with laughter
he knows how to scare it away;
and when I see another black,
with a very sad face,
what a laugh it makes me!
Hahaha,
hahaha
ha ha ha!
And this is what life looks like,
what we must go through,
chasing away the sorrows
with laughter and nothing more.
When I see Panchica
which comes out on Sunday,
happy, for a walk,
and with Benito on his arm,
there in Palermo,
I usually find it!
Seeing the team of blacks
like two mandingas,
what a laugh it makes me!
Hahaha,
hahaha
ha ha ha!
And in this world you see,
everyone has to laugh:
I laugh at others
and others laugh at me.
Dancing a tanguito last night
with the black Pancha
the black Ramón,
wanting to make firuletes
like a burden to the ground
They both left;
they hurt their trunk
and all the speck
he got upset...
Hahaha,
hahaha
ha ha ha!
Poor blacks, Ramón,
Oh, that makes me laugh!
Who made him do pirouettes?
to black people, if they didn't know how to dance?

What a devil of a "bulero" this is!
