Adriano Celentano "Lunfardia" lyrics

Lunfardia

Ella vive el día en San Telmoen la Boca de noche estáallá la llaman bacanaaquí busca aunque abrochada estáen sus pasos el tangoen la bocha un clavo pa’ doblarbajo una luna porteñabamboleando su martona va

[Estribillo:]Qué harías vosde este viento quele sube de las piernashasta el corazónQué harías vosde estos ojos negros quese abotonan biencon ella y con la noche

Estos hombres borrachosque le hablan siempre de elloscon la lengua de tabacoellos abren pronto así sus labios

Por cada escarcha que caeuna rosa abierta ella cultivahasta que le escupen polvo de oroque en el profundo centrode su deseo cruel arriba

[Estribillo]

Cuando su fulanoaquel chanta se fuela regadera al suelocomo una taza se cayóaun mina fielhasta que se mueva el díabajo las estrellas es turraen esta cegante noche de lunfardía

[Estribillo]

Lunfardia

she lives a day in San TelmoIn the nights she is at Bocathey call her 'lady' thereHere 'promiscuous', even though she is married

In her steps there is tangoin her head a nail to foldunder the moon of portrocking the roofs she walks

what would you dowith this wind thatgoes out of her wingsto losing the heartwhat would you dowith this black eyes thatthat are attachedto her and to the night

these drunk manthat always talk to herwith the tongue of the tobaccothey open in a hurry their mouth

For every frost that fallsan open cultivated roseuntil they they spit the dust of goldthat in deep centerof their cruel desire lands

what would you do

when her manwent so senselessthe dress fell on the groundlike a cup

Still the faithful brideuntil the day goes onunder the stars she fightsin this blind night of lunfardia

what would you do
