Lyrics and translation Carlos Gardel - Leguizamo Solo




Leguizamo Solo
Leguizamo Solo
Alzan las cintas parten los tungos
The ribbons rise, the horses depart
Como saetas al viento veloz
Like arrows in the swift wind
Detras va el pulpo, alta la testa
Behind comes the octopus, his head held high
La mano experta y el ojo avizor
His 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's settling in, he's taking action
Es el maestro el que se arrima
It's the master who's approaching
Y explota un grito ensordecedor
And a deafening roar explodes
Leguisamo solo
Leguisamo alone
Gritan los nenes de la popular
The kids in the stands shout
Leguisamo viejo
Leguisamo old
Fuerte repiten los de la oficial
The officials repeat strongly
Leguisamo viejo y peludo
Leguisamo old and hairy
Ya esta el puntero del pulpo a la par
Now the octopus's pointer is on par
Leguisamo solos
Leguisamo alone
Y el pulpo cruza el disco triunfal
And the octopus crosses the finish line triumphantly
No hay duda alguna, es la muñeca
There's no doubt about it, it's the wrist
Es su sereno y gran corazón
It's his calm and great heart
Los que triunfan por la cabeza
That triumphs by a head
En gran estilo y con precisión
In great style and with precision
Lleva los pingos a la victoria
He leads 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
Leguisamo solo
Leguisamo alone
Gritan los nenes de la popular
The kids in the stands shout
Leguisamo viejo
Leguisamo old
Fuerte repiten los de la oficial
The officials repeat strongly
Leguisamo solo
Leguisamo alone
Ya esta el puntero del pulpo a la par
Now the octopus's pointer is on par
Leguisamo viejo y peludo, na′ mas
Leguisamo old and hairy, nothing more
Y el pulpo cruza el disco triunfal
And the octopus crosses the finish line triumphantly
