Matasano

Soy el taita porteñito
más corrido y calavera.
Abro cancha donde quiera
si se trata de tanguear,
el que maneja el cuchillo
con audacia y coraje
y en medio del malevaje
me he hecho siempre respetar.
Yo he nacido en Buenos Aires
y mi techo ha sido el cielo.
Fue mi único consuelo
la madre que me dio el ser.
Desde entonces mi destino
me arrastra en el padecer.
Y por eso es que en la cara
llevo eterna la alegría,
pero dentro de mi pecho
llevo escondido un dolor.
Cesará ese tormento
tan sólo cuando me muera,
pero mientras viva quiero
disfrutar de lo mejor.
Cuando en algún bailongo
caigo con mi querida,
la muchachada corrida
deja toda de bailar,
porque sabe que este taita
tiene fama de ladino,
y en el suelo argentino
no hay quien lo pueda igualar.
Tengo línea, soy de bute
pa' un trabajo de carpeta,
y aunque no visto shusheta
tengo clase y pedigré.
Entre taitas soy manyao;
entre gente, sosegao,
y así vivo de rechipé.
