You really are a friendVos sí que sos compadrito
you never lowered your pompadournunca bajaste el copete
and you overlap your valuesy solapás tus valores
with finesse and skillcon finura y destreza

Your parts got biggerSe te agigantaron las partes
to be able to exaggeratepa'poder exagerar
when you sing the milongacuando cantás la milonga
on the corner, or at the baren la esquina, o en el bar

You are the one with the big handsSos el de las manos grandes
so you can slap thempa'poderlas cachetear
and to be able to play trains as a boyy pa'poder jugar de chico a los trenes
have fun and without complexes at the Retiro station.divertirse y sin complejos en la estación de Retiro.

They called you "the ofe",Te decían "el ofe",
jetton thrush,zorzal jetón,
for the greatness of your hands,por el grandor de tus manos,
and for your caress that has intimidated mey por tu caripela que me ha intimidado
It scared more than one.y a más de uno espantó.

Don't stay close to the worldNo te quedes cerca al mundo
when you're about to applaud.cuando estés por aplaudir.
