Letra del Tango Leguisamo solo

Alzan las cintas; parten los tungos
como saetas al viento veloz…
Detrás va el Pulpo, alta la testa
la mano experta y el ojo avizor.
Siguen corriendo; doblan el codo,
ya se acomoda, ya entra en acción…
Es el maestro el que se arrima
y explota un grito ensordecedor.

¡Leguisamo solo!
gritan los nenes de la popular.
¡Leguisamo solo!
fuerte repiten los de la oficial.
¡Leguisamo solo!
ya está el puntero del Pulpo a la par.
¡Leguisamo al trote!
y el Pulpo cruza el disco triunfal.

No hay duda alguna, es la muñeca,
es su sereno y gran corazón
los que triunfan por la cabeza
en gran estilo y con precisión.
Lleva los pingos a la victoria
con tal dominio de su profesión
que lo distinguen con mucha gloria,
mezcla de asombro y de admiración.

English lyrics of the Tango "Leguisamo solo"

The ribbons rise; the tungos start
like arrows swift through the air…
Behind them Pulpo goes, his head held high,
with skilled hand and observant eye.
They keep racing; they round the bend,
now adjusting, now springing into action…
It’s the master who draws near
and a deafening shout explodes.

Leguisamo alone!
shout the kids from the stands.
Leguisamo alone!
loud repeat those from the boxes.
Leguisamo alone!
now Pulpo’s leader is parallel.
Leguisamo at a trot!
and Pulpo crosses the victorious line.

There’s no doubt, it’s the skill,
his calm and grand heart
that triumph by a head
with great style and precision.
He leads the horses to victory
with such mastery of his craft
that he is distinguished with much glory,
a mix of wonder and admiration.
