Garufa
Edmundo Rivero
Garufa
From the neighborhood, you're the coolest guy
And they call you 'garufa' for being so cool;
You have more aspirations than a bataclana
Who would have been a hit with a tango.
During the week, all about work,
And on Saturday night, you're a doctor:
You put on your spats and stiff collar
And you come to the center as a breaker.
Garufa,
You're so funny!
Garufa,
You're a lost case;
Your mom
Says you're a bandit
Because she heard
The other night
You were seen
In the Japanese park.
You arrive at the milonga as soon as it starts
And you're the charmer for the ladies;
You're capable of dancing the Marseillaise,
The Garibaldi march, and the troubadour.
With a coffee with milk and an ensaimada
You finish off that night of revelry
And when you return home, in the early morning,
You say: 'I'm a phenomenal guy'.
