Del barrio la mondiola sos el más rana

Y te llaman garufa por lo bacán;

Tenés más pretensiones que bataclana

Durante la semana, meta laburo,

Y te venís p'al centro de rompedor.

En el parque japonés.

La marcha a garibaldi y el trovador.

Con un café con leche y una ensaimada

Y al volver a tu casa, de madrugada,

And returning home, in the early morning,

Decís: "yo soy un rana fenomenal".

You say, "I'm a phenomenal guy."
