Letra del Tango Hacé bulín

Si la suerte quiere hacerte una gauchada
Y algún día amaneces, siendo heredero,
De un coqueto apartamento de soltero
No lo uses para casorio, hace bulín.
Y serás un miembro más del batifondo
Que le dé con la matraca, a la ternura,
En violentos happening, que dan pavura
Con finales, que mejor, no hacer mención.

¡Hacé bulín!
Pintalo verde turquesa,
Minga de sillas y mesas
Y en vez de araña, plafón.
Un regio bar
Con bebidas abundantes,
Y un stock estimulante
De música en do menor.
¡Hacé bulín!
Y la barra agradecida,
Lo usará como guarida
Cuando realice un festín.

Si te faltan cuatro ruedas pa´ variarla
Y en la villa del cariño, hacerle el tren,
La invitás en el bulín para el ablande
Que se quede un rato largo, de rehén.
Y allí juntos, sin testigos oculares
Y el pregón del café, pero escorchador,
Te mandás un buen long-play de novedades
De estos tangos y milongas de mi flor.

English lyrics of the Tango "Hacé bulín"

If luck decides to throw you a bone
And one day you wake up as an heir
To a chic bachelor’s apartment
Don’t use it for weddings, make it a hideout.
And you’ll be another patron of the revelry
That bashes tenderness with noisemakers,
In violent happenings, terrifying,
With endings, better left unmentioned.

Make it a hideout!
Paint it turquoise green,
Forget chairs and tables,
And instead of a chandelier, a ceiling light.
A splendid bar
With plenty of drinks,
And a stimulating stock
Of music in C minor.
Make it a hideout!
And the thankful crowd,
Will use it as a lair
When they throw a feast.

If you lack a car to change things up
And want to impress in the domain of affection,
Invite her over to the hideout for softening,
Let her stay a while, as your captive.
And there together, with no eyewitnesses
And the shout of coffee, but burning,
You play a long-play of novelties
Of these tangos and milongas of my crafting.

Story behind the Tango Hacé bulín

“Hacé bulín” depicts a whimsical yet critical narrative centred on embracing bachelorhood and social independence. The lyrics suggest inheriting a bachelor’s apartment and ideate turning it into a haven for social gatherings rather than settling down through marriage. There’s a vibrant encouragement to transform the place into a lively spot (“píntalo verde turquesa”) and reject traditional furniture for a more bohemian setup.



Symbolism of Hacé bulín

The term “Hacé bulín” directly translates to “make room” or “prepare space”, symbolizing breaking free from societal norms. The green turquoise paint is suggestive of renewal and youth, a stark contrast against conventional aesthetics. The insistence on a “regio bar” and minimal traditional furniture like chairs and tables symbolizes a preference for a less structured, more fluid social setting. This setup hints at the evolution of personal spaces reflecting personal freedom and a casual approach to life.
