Shusheta (The Aristocrat)
Play while
reading
The whole Florida street saw him
with his spats, top hat, and cane...
They say that back in his youth,
a great Don Juan of yesterday's Buenos Aires.
He graced the door of the Jockey Club
and always wore a carnation in his lapel.
The whole Florida street saw him
with his spats, top hat, and cane.
Distinguished surname,
great gentleman at gatherings,
he made the ladies sigh
and won over
their hearts.
And in the afternoons in Palermo
he strolled in his carriage
and in search of a meeting
went the porteño
conqueror.
Ah, the times of the Petit Salón...
So much youthful madness...
Ah, the time of the
Champagne Tango section
of "Armenonville."
Everything passed like a fleeting
moment full of emotion...
Today only remain
memories of your heart...
The whole Florida street saw him
with his spats, top hat, and cane.
