Rubias de New York, fantasmas de percal

Presten atención, se ha abierto un Piano Bar

¿Será que nací en el sur?
Is it that I was born in the south?
¿Será que encendí la luz de tu amor?
Is it that I ignited the light of your love?
Viudas de Neón, amantes de Gardel
Widows of Neon, lovers of Gardel
Suena un bandoneón cerca del cabaret
A bandoneón sounds near the cabaret
¿Será que nací en el sur?
Is it that I was born in the south?
¿Será que encendí la luz de tu amor?

Las chicas tienen un lugar donde viven esas cosas que asombran
The girls have a place where they live those things that surprise
Los chicos tienen un lugar donde ir a conversar
The boys have a place to go and chat
Usa tu rubor, escoge tu disfraz
Use your blush, pick your disguise
Plumas de neón, sonrisa de zorzal
Neon feathers, a thrush's smile
Coloca vitrina al sur
Set the showcase to the south
Reloca, titila, luz, la ciudad
Relocate, twinkle, light, the city
