El firulete

Who was the weirdo
who told you, che pebete
that the time of the firulete has passed?
No matter how much the merengues
the merengues and the congas
it's always a good time for the milonga.
You just let some kid
chamuye al cuete
and shake your "firulete",
that from the brain to the soul
the milonga embroidered it.
It is the criollo beat and that's it.

But listen, pay close attention,
pay close attention to it
and now beat if there is something equal
to this compadrón beat.
Beat, for God's sake, if this compás
and sweet and sweet
bubbles on your skin
and makes you more loving.
But listen... pay close attention,
pay close attention to it.
And now beat if this compass
is not a burst carnation;
it's the carnation, it's the balcony,
it's the percale, the suburb,
the alley, and it's the crazy firulete
of some old metejón.
