Hey Doll, Listen Up!

Che papusa oí!

Doll, little doll who speaks with a lispMuñeca, muñequita que hablás con zeta
and with real grace, you stir things up nicely;y que con gracia posta batís mishé;
with your tambourine gesturesque con tus aspavientos de pandereta
you're the most stylish milonguera;sos la milonguerita de más chiqué;
dressed to the nines, you dance with styletrajeada de bacana, bailás con corte
and out of strange snobbery, you sip prissé,y por raro snobismo tomás prissé,
and in a fancy car, from south to north,y que en auto camba, de sur a norte,
you stroll like a lady of high class.paseás como una dama de gran cachet.

Hey doll, listen upChe papusa, oí
the melodious chords played by the bandoneon;los acordes melodiosos que modula el bandoneón;
Hey doll, listen upChe papusa, oí
the anxious beats of your poor heart;los latidos angustiosos de tu pobre corazón;
Hey doll, listen upChe papusa, oí
how the passages of your past emerge from this tango...cómo surgen de este tango los pasajes de tu ayer...
If today you're swept awaySi entre el lujo del ambiente
by the luxury of the environment,hoy te arrastra la corriente,
tomorrow I want to see you...mañana te quiero ver...

Beautiful milonguera, doll and peach,Milonguerita linda, papusa y breva,
with mischievous peppermint eyes,con ojos picarescos de pippermint,
with a fancy way of speaking, a tough lookde parla afranchutada, pinta maleva
and sinful carmine lips,y boca pecadora color carmín,
you show off your jewels at the milongaengrupen tus alhajas en la milonga
with a flashy, brilliant displaycon regio faroleo brillanteril
and when you dance those bold tangosy al bailar esos tangos de meta y ponga
you make the live one and the fool return.volvés otario al vivo y al reo gil.
