Natalio Ruiz, El Hombrecito Del Sombrero Gris
Sui Generis
Natalio Ruiz, The Little Man with the Gray Hat
And when time passed
Someone wondered
Where did Natalio Ruiz go?
The little man in the grey hat?
I was walking down the main street
From the balcony of his beloved
To his house to write
Those verses from a time when my grandfather lived
Where are you now, Natalio Ruiz?
The little man in the grey hat?
I remember you today with your glasses
What a serious man, walking through the square!
What was the point of taking such good care of your cough?
Do not take more than the doctor indicated
Take care of the form for what they will say
And make love to every bishop's death
And never dare to ask for her hand
For fear of that harpy-faced aunt
And where are you? Where have you ended up?
And what happened to your little grey hat?
Today you occupy one more place
I agreed with your lineage
In the Recoleta
And where are you? Where have you ended up?
And what happened to your little grey hat?
Oh, narananana
Today you occupy one more place
I agreed with your lineage
In the Recoleta
