ARRABALERA Lyrics

LYRICS: Cátulo Castillo
MUSIC: Sebastian Piana

I

Mi casa fue un corralon,
de arrabal bien proletario,
papel de diario el pañal,
del cajon, en que me crie...
Para mostrar mi blason,
pedigree modesto y sano,
oiga, che... presenteme...
Soy Felisa Roverano...
Tanto gusto... no hay de que...

II

Arrabelera,
como flor de enredadera,
que crecio en el callejon...
Arrabalera,
yo soy propia hermana entera,
de Chiclana y compadron...
Si me gano el morfi diario,
que me importa el diccionario,
ni el hablar con distinción.
Tengo un sello de nobleza...
Soy porteña de una pieza...
Tengo voz de bandoneón.

I Bis

Si se me da la ocasión,
de bailar un tango "arrespe",
encrespe su corazón,
de varon sentimental...
Y al revoliar mi percal,
marqueme su firulete,
que en el brete musical,
se conoce... la gran siete,
mi prosapia de arrabal.

Quote of the Day

And to begin with, having people apart - it's a mistake. It's a big mistake and teachers don't realize it yet, but what you have to teach people is to walk with another person in front, not to walk by themselves - they already know that. I don't see why they have to learn something by themselves. It's like, you want to learn to play piano and I give you a trumpet. It doesn't help you. -Fabi�n Salas (about absolute beginner classes)
