EL CHINO PANTALEON lyrics

LYRICS: Francisco Canaro
MUSIC: Francisco Canaro

Caballeros milongueros,
la milonga esta formada
y el que cope la parada
que se juegue todo entero
si es que tiene compañero,
la guitarra bien templada
pa' aguantar cualquier trenzada
con razón o sin razón,
cara a cara, frente a frente,
corazón a corazón.

Era el Chino Pantaleón
milonguero y cachafaz,
que al sonar de un bandoneón
viboreaba en su compás.
Era un taura pa'copar
y de ley como el mejor;
si lo entraban a apurar
era capaz de cantar
La violeta o Trovador.

Caballeros milongueros,
vayan saliendo a la cancha
porque el que hace la "patancha"
es señal que le da el cuero;
siempre el que pega primero
lleva la mayor ventaja;
no le ponen la mortaja
al que tira sin errar;
no es de vivo, compañero,
el dejarse madrugar.

Quote of the Day

To be a milonguero, first of all you have your own style of dancing. It means that you have a unique feeling for the music, rhythm, cadence and embrace. When you have all this, the music invades your body and mind and then, only then, the chemistry begins that really makes you transmit to your partner as if both were talking, whispering, sliding on the floor with sacadas, corridas, turns, dancing only one for the other, not for the people. In that moment, when both are listening to the magic of the music, the skin of one in the skin of the other, the smell, the touch produces the miracle of something like a mantra, and the ying and the yang is there!!! We are dancing tango!!! - Ricardo Vidort
