El Firulete

Who was the strange bug
That told you, hey kid
That the time of the fancy footwork has passed
Even if the meringues snore
And there are congas
It's always a good time
For the milonga

You, just let it be
If some guy talks nonsense
And shake your fancy footwork
This arabesque that in the soul
The milonga embroidered us
It's the Creole beat and that's it

But listen, pay attention
And now see if there's anything like
This bossy beat
Beat for God, if this beat
With a sweet ring
Doesn't bubble on your skin
And make you more affectionate

But listen, pay attention
And now see if this beat
Isn't a bursting carnation
It's the carnation, it's the balcony
It's the percale, the suburb
The alley and it's the crazy fancy footwork
Of some old fling

You, just let it be
If some guy talks nonsense
And shake your fancy footwork
This arabesque that in the soul
The milonga embroidered us
It's the Creole beat and that's it
