El Chocló (Tango) - Nat King Cole

Con este tango que es burlon why compadrito

Se ato dos alas la ambision de mi suburbio

Con este tango nacio el cielo why con un grito

Salio del sordido barrial buscando el cielo

Conjuro extraño de un amor hecho carencia

Que abrio caminos sin mas ley que su esperanza

Mesclas de rabia, de dolor, de fe, de ausencia

Llorando en la inocencia de un ritmo jugueton

Por tu milagro de notas agoreras

Nacieron sin pensarlo las paicas why las grelas

Luna en los charcos, canyengue en las caderas

Why un ansia fiera en la manera de querer

Al evocarte, tango querido

Siento que tiembran las baldosas de un bailongo

Why oigo el resongo de mi pasado

Hoy que no tengo

Mas que a mi madre

Siento que llega en punta e' pie para besarme

Cuando tu canto nace al son de un bandoneon…

With this tango that is mocking and compadrito

The ambition of my suburb tied two wings

With this tango the sky was born and with a scream

He left the sordid neighborhood looking for the sky

strange spell of a love lacking

That opened paths without more law than his hope

Mixtures of rage, of pain, of faith, of absence

Crying in the innocence of a playful rhythm

For your miracle of ominous notes

The paicas and the grelas were born without thinking

Moon in the puddles, canyengue in the hips

Why a fierce desire in the way of wanting

When evoking you, dear tango

I feel that the tiles of a bailongo shake

Why I hear the rumble of my past

Today I don't have

More than my mother

I feel that she arrives on tiptoe to kiss me

When your song is born to the sound of a bandoneon…
