Ratafi, elisir, aquabuse
una bottiglieria
mille-feuilles, tarte auxpommes, chantilly,
una pasticceria
il gaucho as che cos
laria blu della prateria,
il gaucho contento e rimare a guarder
Passa la vita, come una seorita, de amor
apre il ventaglio e mette a repentaglio i cuor,
camicia allegra che piace anche ai pelagra, folclor
e nel traffico e nel trambusto
ci han preso gusto a tutto questo odor, furor
grut-grut-grut, pot-pot-pot, cling-cling-cling
un traffico africano,
solo lui, paradis, as cos
un clacson peruviano
pensa a me, pensa a me, pensa a me che non so cosa fare,
il cinema un gaucho seduto al caff
Gli amanti stanchi lascian gli appartamenti, de amor
dal sesto piano discendon piano piano, pudor
sui marciapiedi, trascinan stanchi piedi, sudor
e nel traffico e nel trambusto
ritorna il gusto di tutto questo amor, tenor
Passa la vita, come una seorita, de amor
apre il ventaglio e mette a repentaglio i cuor,
la pampa attende in un silenzio derba, fulgor
che ritorni luomo-cavallo
nellintervallo del suo stupor, baglior, albor
passa la vita
