Letra del Tango Giuseppe el crooner

Che, Giuseppe Malatesta, que usás saco con tajito
Pantalón a lo Divito y melena croquiñol,
Con los ojos bien en blanco, agarrándote al “fierrito”
No hay mujer que se resista cuando empieza la audición.
Yo, que manyo el espejaime de tu vida rantifusa
Y fui yunta de tu hermana, chamuyándola al revés,
Con alguna llave inglesa te daría en la cucusa
Cuando juno al luminoso que te anuncia “Tony Key”…

Che, Giuseppe, con tanto ti, con tanto tu
Vas haciéndote el loco,
Y te juro aunque yo crepe
Que estabas mejor, Giuseppe
Cuando torcías la boca.
¡Lindos tiempos de quiniela…!
Que en tu prontuario yo anoto,
Con un “mesote” en Devoto
Sin cirugía facial.
¡Che, Giuseppe!
Y hoy vas de ti, y hoy vas de tu
Estás hecho un manicomio,
Que chamuya “nosocomio”
Por no batir “hospital”.

A las siete de la tarde, cuando el sol se va de apoliyo
Te fajás las gafas negras pa´ varearte en el trocén,
¡Y hay que ver las pajaronas derritiéndose en la yeca!
Trabajadas por la peca del famoso Tony Key.
Yo no sé con qué herramienta te cambiaste la pintura
Con tu juego de cintura le ganás a un boxeador,
Y al hacer la voz finita, conversando con la luna
Yo te juro, che, Giuseppe, de que estás hecho un amor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Giuseppe el crooner"

Hey, Giuseppe Malatesta, in your dapper slit jacket,
Pants styled like Divito and a fancy rolled hairdo,
With your eyes all a-glow, clutching to the balustrade,
No woman can resist when you start to audition.
I know all the reflections of your shifty existence
And was close with your sister, talking her into circles,
I’d hit you with a wrench right upon your noggin
When I spot the bright sign, proclaiming “Tony Key”…

Hey, Giuseppe, with all your affectation,
You play it so cool,
And I swear even as I may croak,
You were better off, Giuseppe,
When you just scowled.
Ah, those lovely lottery days!
I record in your dossier,
With a long stint in Devoto
Without any facial surgery.
Oh, Giuseppe!
Now it’s all about you, now all flaunt,
You’re completely bonkers,
Terming it “medical center”
To avoid saying “hospital”.

At seven in the evening, as the sunlight slants,
You slap on your dark glasses to blend into the crowd,
And oh, how the easy marks melt in the darkness!
Swayed by the freckle of the renowned Tony Key.
I’ve no idea by what means you altered your facade,
With your nimble moves, you could outbox a fighter,
And by making your voice soft, talking to the moon,
I swear, oh, Giuseppe, you’re truly a charmer.

Story behind the Tango Giuseppe el crooner

The lyrics in “Giuseppe el crooner” paint the story of Giuseppe Malatesta, capturing an intriguing blend of transformation and charisma. Giuseppe, once a rough man, has reinvented himself into a charismatic crooner, a singer that no woman can resist once he starts his act. Despite this seeming success in his public persona as a crooner named Tony Key, the song reflects on his past, showing a striking contrast between who he was and who he has become.


Symbolism of Giuseppe el crooner

The transformation of Giuseppe Malatesta into Tony Key carries deep symbolic weight, indicating a broader commentary on societal expectations and personal reinvention. The reference to “cambio de pintura” (changing paint) metaphorically describes how Giuseppe changes his outward identity, much like painting over his past. However, the lines convey a sense of melancholy, possibly indicating the loss associated with denying one’s roots and past struggles.

Key phrases like “con los ojos bien en blanco” and “vos finita” reflect a detachment from reality and authenticity, suggesting that his facade may be a mask hiding his true essence. These phrases, coupled with mentions of manipulation and concealment, serve to highlight the disconnect between his inner self and the persona he projects outward to society.


Giuseppe el crooner in historic Context

This period saw the rise of new cultural icons and the reshaping of identities, much like the persona transformation depicted in the tango. The lyrics subtly critique the societal changes and the cosmetic alterations that come at the expense of one’s heritage and authenticity.
