Con revuelos de percales
las mozas la bailaron
en las floridas tardes
del viejo Montserrat. 

“Venga, vea este corte”
pregonaba algún taura
al mandarse un redoble
sobre el piso de tablas.

Dedicando a la reunión 
como una flor, su compadrada,
retador en la intención 
de deslumbrar con sus hazañas
Lindos tiempos aquellos, 
del fandango ligero 
al compas de un milongón 
que para mas, puede mi flor.

English translation

With a flutter of percales
the girls danced it
in the flowery afternoons
of old Montserrat.

"Come, see this cut"
some taura would proclaim
as he sent a drum roll
on the plank floor.

Dedicating to the gathering
like a flower, his compadrada,
challenging in his intention
to dazzle with his feats
Those were beautiful times,
of the light fandango
to the beat of a milongón
that for more, can my flower.
