Garufa
Tita Merello
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 successful 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 ladies' favorite dancer;
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'.
