Señores yo soy del centro

Señores, yo soy del centro,
del centro de la ciudad.
Vivo en la calle Corrientes
casi esquina Paraná,
tengo allí constituido
mi domicilio legal.
Lo divulgo por si acaso
alguien lo quiere anotar.

Soy modesto, tan modesto,
que me limito a callar
cuando escucho que comentan
mi manera de bailar.
Unos dicen que en el tango
no ha nacido mi rival,
otros creen que en la milonga
se aprecia la calidad.
Y yo francamente digo
que no me atrevo a opinar.

Yo me firmo Federico
José María Cabral,
y subrayo para el caso,
bailarín profesional.

English translation

Gentlemen, I am from downtown,
from the center of the city.
I live on Corrientes Street
almost on the corner of Paraná,
I have my legal domicile
my legal domicile there.
I am disclosing it just in case
someone wants to write it down.

I am modest, so modest,
that I limit myself to keeping quiet
when I hear people comment
my way of dancing.
Some say that in tango
my rival was not born,
others believe that in the milonga
quality is appreciated.
And I frankly say
that I don't dare to give my opinion.

I sign myself Federico
José María Cabral,
and I underline for the sake of argument,
professional dancer.
