Araca Paris

I left Puente Alsina for Montmartre,Pianté de Puente Alsina para Montmartre,
where everyone tried to impress me:que todos me batían pa' m'engrupir:
'You have the look of a local to fit in"Tenés la pinta criolla pa' acomodarte
with the old French woman who goes to the dance hall...con la franchuta vieja que va al dancing...
What are you doing in Buenos Aires? Don't be a fool!¿Qué hacés en Buenos Aires? ¡No seas otario!
Forget those tangos from Tabaris;Amura esas milongas del Tabaris;
with three tango steps you're a millionaire,con tres cortes de tango sos millonario,
dark and Argentine, king of Paris.'morocho y argentino, rey de París."

Araca, Paris... Cheers, Paris...Araca, París... Salute, París...
Get out of Montmartre; scram, you fool...Raja de Montmartre; piantate, infeliz...
Araca, Paris... Cheers, Paris...Araca, París... Salute, París...
Cool French women you're going to impress;Franchutas cancheras que vas a engrupir;
come to the neighborhood and you'll have tangos,venite pa'l barrio y tendrás milongas,
light tangos that know how to love...milongas ligeras que saben amar...
Araca, Paris... Cheers, Paris...Araca, París... Salute, París...
Get out of Montmartre; scram, you fool.Raja de Montmartre; piantate, infeliz.

I caught a luxury train, happy as can be,Agarré tren de lujo, loco'e contento,
'Good evening, little one, I love you... You are my darling!'"Bonsoir, petit, je t'aime... Tu es mon coco!"
with a fat one-eyed woman with a lot of wind,con una gorda tuerta con mucho vento,
who didn't give me a thing and ditched me.que no me dio ni medio y me amuró.
I got angry and, tough guy, to show off,Tiré la bronca y, guapo, pa' darme corte,
a slap on her nose got stuck...un tortazo en su ñata se le incrustó...
Police station, judges, and the passport,Comisaría, jueces y el pasaporte,
and my life as a gigolo ended.y terminó mi vida de gigoló.
