Gatito Pa Don Lucas

Kitten for Don Lucas

Gatito Pa Don Lucas

My troubles fade when I see him arriveMis penas se van al verlo llegar
Just give me a moment, I want to danceDéjame un ratito que quiero bailar
The accordion's already playingQue ya suena al fuelle
Don Lucas CabralDon Lucas Cabral

From Rosario the BorderDe Rosario la Frontera
To this placePara este lugar
With his country bandoneonCon su bandoneón carpero
They've seen him comeLo han visto llegar
My hometown lights upSe alegran mis pagos
When he starts to playAl verlo tocar

He bends down slowlySe le agacha despacito
Starts to stretch it outLo empieza a estirar
He grips it with his handsSe le prende con sus manos
And squeezes it tightLo vuelve a apretar
Watch out, Don LucasCuidado Don Lucas
You might cut yourselfSe puede cortar

Damn, he made me dance so wellLa pucha, qué lindo me hizo bailar
Dancing this gato, I want to get her tangledBailando este gato la quiero enredar
When I get close to herCuando me le arrimo
She starts to pull awaySe empieza a alejar

Like tickling herComo haciéndole cosquillas
He starts to playLo empieza a tocar
With the heel of his bootsCon el taco de sus botas
He keeps the beatLe lleva el compás
He shines on the guitarSe luce en la viola
El Chato BazánEl Chato Bazán

A tap of sticksUn repique de palillos
That come and goQue vienen y van
It must be Pascual ToledoHa de ser Pascual Toledo

Shout it out, mulatto, it's almost overGrítales mulato, se acaba nomás
