Garufa

Del barrio La Mondiola sos el más rana
y te llaman Garufa por lo bacán;
tenés más pretensiones que bataclana
que hubiera hecho suceso con un gotán.
Durante la semana, meta laburo,
y el sábado a la noche sos un doctor:
te encajás las polainas y el cuello duro
y te venís p'al centro de rompedor.

Garufa,
¡pucha que sos divertido!
Garufa,
ya sos un caso perdido;
tu vieja
dice que sos un bandido
porque supo que te vieron
la otra noche
en el Parque Japonés.

Caés a la milonga en cuanto empieza
y sos para las minas el vareador;
sos capaz de bailarte la Marsellesa,
la Marcha a Garibaldi y El Trovador.
Con un café con leche y una ensaimada
rematás esa noche de bacanal
y al volver a tu casa, de madrugada,
decís: 'Yo soy un rana fenomenal'.

English translation

In the neighborhood of La Mondiola you're the biggest frog
and they call you Garufa because you're so cool;
you have more pretensions than a bataclana
who would have made success with a gotán.
During the week, you have a lot of work to do,
and on Saturday night you're a doctor:
you put on your leggings and your stiff collar
and you come to the center as a breaker.

You're fun!
you're so much fun!
Garufa,
you're already a hopeless case;
your old lady
says you are a bandit
because she knew you were seen
the other night
in the Japanese Park.

You fall into the milonga as soon as it starts
and you are for the mines the vareador;
you are able to dance the Marseillaise,
the March to Garibaldi and The Troubadour.
With a coffee with milk and an ensaimada
you finish off that night of bacchanal
and when you return home, in the wee hours of the morning,
you say: 'I am a phenomenal frog'.
