Lyrics of Garufa - Tita Merello

Garufa (original)

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»

(translation)

From the neighborhood la mondiola you are the most frog
And they call you garufa because of how cool you are;
You have more pretensions than bataclana
What would have happened with a gotan
During the week, I work hard
And on Saturday night you are a doctor:
You put on your leggings and your stiff collar
And you come to the center of the breaker
Garufa
Damn you're funny!
Garufa
You are already a basket case;
Your mom
She says you're a bandit
because he knew they saw you
The other night
in the japanese park
You fall into the milonga as soon as it starts
And those for the mines are the harvester;
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 to your house, at dawn
You say: “I am a phenomenal frog”
