Lyrics
Flaco, trigueño... mirada fiera
Daga cayendo del pantalón,
Dice su vieja pinta orillera
¡Cancha!... Soy guapo de corazón.
¡Arrabalero!... Flor del suburbio
Yerbita criolla del barrio sur,
Cuando un amigo le juega turbio
Pela su fierro, corre el albur.
 
Guapo, buen mozo
Del arrabal...
Tigre pa´l canto
Luz pa´ bailar.
Dice la gente
Al verlo pasar
Con una criolla
Que es un rosal:
“Falla el coraje
contra el amor,
ahí va Tranquera
rey del facón”
“¡Ah!... quién pudiera
cueriarlo al sol
como esa prenda
lo basurió”
 
En los candombes de las barriadas
O en la trastienda del almacén,
Ganó sus lauros a puñaladas
Y algunas veces mató también.
Y ensimismado en su propia gloria
Gaucho moderno, sin chiripá,
Es un recuerdo y es una historia
Del Buenos Aires que ya se va.
English translation
Thin, dark-haired... fierce gaze.
Dagger falling from his pants,
Says his old shore look...
Pig!... I'm handsome at heart.
Arrabalero!... Flower of the suburb
Yerbita criolla of the south neighborhood,
When a friend plays a dirty game
He peels his iron, he runs the joke.
 
Handsome, handsome, handsome
From the suburbs...
Tigre pa'l canto
Luz pa' bailar.
People say
When they see him pass by
With a criolla
That it's a rose bush:
"Falla el coraje
against love,
there goes Tranquera
king of the facon"
"Ah... who could
to the sun
as that garment
he was trashed".
 
In the candombes of the slums
Or in the back room of the store,
He won his laurels by stabbing.
And sometimes he killed too.
And engrossed in his own glory
Modern gaucho, without chiripá,
He is a memory and a story
Of the Buenos Aires that is already gone.
