Lyrics

Translation

Che, mandán que parlásen francés

Hey, they say you speak French

Y tirás ventolín en dos manos

And toss ventolin with both hands

Que escabias con champán bien frappé

That you drink well-frappéd champagne

Y en el tango enredás tu ilusión

And tangle your illusion in the tango


Sos un biscuit de pestañas muy arqueadas

You're a biscuit with highly arched eyelashes

Muñeca brava, bien cotizada

Wild doll, highly valued

Sos del Trianón, del Trianón de villa Crespo

You're from the Trianón, the Trianón of Villa Crespo

Miloguerita, juguete de ocasión

My dear, a second-hand toy


Tenés un camba que te hace gustos

You've got a camba who indulges you

Y viente abriles que sos diqueros

And twenty years when you're in full bloom

Y muy repleto tu monedero

And your purse quite full

Pa' patinarlo de Norte a Sur

To spend it from North to South


Te baten todos, muñeca brava

Everyone flatters you, wild doll

Porque a los giles mareás sin grupo

Because you confuse fools without effort

¡Pá mi sos siempre la que no supo

To me, you're always the one who didn't know

Guardar un cacho de amor y juventud!

How to keep a piece of love and youth!


Campaneá que la vida se va

Wave as life passes by

Y enfundá tu silueta sin rango

Dress your silhouette without status

Y si el llanto te viene a buscar

And if tears come looking for you

Olvidate, Muñeca, y reí

Forget it, Doll, and laugh


Meta champán, que la vida se te escapa

Chug champagne, life is slipping away from you

Muñeca brava, flor de pecado

Wild doll, flower of sin

¡Cuando llegués al final de tu carrera

When you reach the end of your career

Tus primaveras verás languidecer!

Your springs will see you languish!
