Letra del Tango El entrerriano

Sabrán que soy el Entrerriano,
que soy
milonguero y provinciano,
que soy también
un poquito compadrito
y aguanto el tren
de los guapos con tajitos.
Y en el vaivén
de algún tango de fandango,
como el querer
voy metiéndome hasta el mango,
que pa’l baile y pa’l amor
sabrán que soy
siempre el mejor.

¿Ven, no ven lo que es bailar así,
llevándola juntito a mí
como apretando el corazón?…
¿Ven, no ven lo que es llevarse bien
en las cortadas del querer
y en la milonga del amor?…

Todo corazón para el amor
me dio la vida
y alguna herida
de vez en vez,
para saber lo peor.
Todo corazón para bailar
haciendo cortes
y al Sur y al Norte
sulen gritar
que el Entrerriano es el gotán.

English lyrics of the Tango "El entrerriano"

They’ll know that I am the one from Entre Ríos,
that I am
a milonga enthusiast and from the provinces,
that I am also
a bit of a streetwise guy
and can handle the row
of sharp men with knives.
And in the sway
of some tango of fervor,
like in love,
I dive in to the hilt,
for dance and for love
they’ll know that I am
always the best.

Do you see, don’t you see how it is to dance like this,
holding her close to me
as if squeezing the heart?…
Do you see, don’t you see how nice it is to get along
in the alleyways of love
and in the milonga of love?…

All heart for love
life gave me
and some wounds
now and then,
to know the worst.
All heart to dance
performing cuts
and to the South and North
they often shout
that the one from Entre Ríos is the tango itself.
