Leguisamo Solo
Carlos Gardel
Leguisamo Solo
The ribbons rise; the horses take off
Like arrows in the swift wind
Behind comes the Octopus, head held high
With a skilled hand and a watchful eye
They keep running; they bend the elbow
Now they settle in, now they spring into action
It's the master who approaches
And lets out a deafening shout
"Leguisamo solo!"
Shout the kids from the stands
"Leguisamo at a trot!"
Everyone from the official side responds
"Leguisamo old and hairy!"
The Octopus's lead is right alongside
"Leguisamo at a gallop now!"
And the Octopus crosses the finish line victorious
No doubt about it, it's the doll
With its simple and big heart
Those who win by a head
With great style and precision
He leads the horses to victory
With such mastery of his craft
That he stands out like a glory
A mix of awe and admiration
"Leguisamo solo!"
Shout the kids from the stands
"Leguisamo at a gallop now!"
Everyone from the official side responds
"Leguisamo old and hairy!"
The Octopus's lead is right alongside
"Leguisamo at a little trot now!"
And the Octopus crosses the finish line victorious
Alright, old Francisco
Tell the Octopus that Lunático
I'm going to retire him to winter quarters
He's earned his little snacks and the crowd is completely grateful
I felt the crowd: "Very good!"
"Cheers!"
