Tango do Covil

Chico Buarque Chico Buarque

Den of Tango

Oh, how I wish to be a singer
I wish to be a tenor
Maybe to have a voice
Like the nightingales
Like the troubadour
Who sings the sunsets
To tell you kindly
Welcome
Let me sing your beauty
You are the most beautiful princess
Here in this den

Oh, how I wish to be a doctor
Graduated in Salvador
To have a diploma, a ring
And a bachelor's voice
To make in your honor
Countless speeches
To tell you kindly
Welcome
You are the most beautiful lady
And, I dare say, the most attractive
Here in this den

Oh, how I wish to be a waiter
To have good shoes
Maybe even perhaps
To be a French waiter
To talk about champagne
To talk about English sauce
To tell you kindly
Welcome
You are so graceful and delicate
You are the most seductive lady
Here in this den

Oh, how I wish to be Gardel
Tenor and bachelor
French and nightingale
Doctor in champagne
Waiter in Salvador
And a soccer announcer
To tell you feverishly
Welcome
Your beauty is almost a crime
You have the most sublime butt
Here in this den
