El Entrerriano
Homero Expósito
The Entrerriano
They will know that I am the Entrerriano,
that I am
a milonguero and provincial,
that I am also
a little compadrito
and I can handle the tough guys
with their knives.
And in the sway
of some tango or fandango,
like love,
I keep getting involved deeply,
for dancing and for love
they will know that I am
always the best.
Do you see, don't you see what it's like to dance like this,
holding her close to me
as if squeezing the heart?...
Do you see, don't you see what it's like to get along
in the cuts of love
and in the milonga of love?...
All my heart for love
life gave me
and some wounds
from time to time,
to know the worst.
All my heart for dancing
making cuts
and from South to North
they often shout
that the Entrerriano is the gotán.
