Lyrics and translation Carlos Gardel - Leguisamo Solo I




Leguisamo Solo I
Leguisamo Solo I
Alzan las cintas, parten los tungos
The ribbons are raised, the thoroughbreds start
Como saetas al viento veloz
Like arrows in the swift wind
Detrás va el pulpo, alta la testa
The octopus follows behind, its head held high
La mano experta y el ojo avizor
Its expert hand and watchful eye
Siguen corriendo, doblan el codo
They keep running, they round the bend
Ya se acomoda, ya entra en acción
He settles in, he springs into action
Es el maestro, el que se arrima
He is the master, the one who gets close
Y explota un grito ensordecedor
And a deafening shout erupts
Ahora
Now
Leguisamo solo
Leguisamo solo
Gritan los nenes de la popular
The kids in the cheap seats scream
Leguisamo, viejo
Leguisamo, old man
Todos repiten los de la oficial
Everyone repeats those in the official seats
Leguisamo, viejo y peludo
Leguisamo, old and hairy
Ya esta el puntero del pulpo a la par
The octopus's pointer is already on par
Leguisamo solo
Leguisamo solo
Y el pulpo cruza el disco triunfal
And the octopus crosses the finish line triumphant
No hay duda alguna, es la muñeca
There is no doubt, it is the wrist
Es su sereno y gran corazón
It is his serene and great heart
Los que triunfan por la cabeza
Those who triumph by the head
En gran estilo y con precisión
In great style and with precision
Lleva los pingos, a la victoria
He takes the horses to victory
Con tal dominio de su profesión
With such mastery of his profession
Que lo distinguen como una gloria
That they distinguish him as a glory
Mezcla de asombro y de admiración
A mixture of astonishment and admiration
Ahora, viejo, vamo' a ver
Now, old man, let's see
Leguisamo solo
Leguisamo solo
Gritan los nenes de la popular
The kids in the cheap seats scream
Leguisamo, viejo y peludo nomá'
Leguisamo, old and hairy, man
Gritan todos los de la oficial
Everyone in the official seats screams
Leguisamo solo
Leguisamo solo
Ya está el puntero del pulpo a la par
The octopus's pointer is already on par
Leguisamo, viejo y peludo nomá'
Leguisamo, old and hairy, man
Y el pulpo cruza el disco triunfal
And the octopus crosses the finish line triumphant
