EL FLETE lyrics

LYRICS: Pascual Contursi
MUSIC: Vicente Greco

Se acabaron los pesaos,
patoteros y mentaos
de coraje y decisión.
Se acabaron los malos
de taleros y de palos,
fariñeras y facon.
Se acabaron los de faca
y todos la van de araca
cuando llega la ocasión.
Porque al de más copete
lo catan y le dan flete
pa' la otra población.

Esos taitas que tenian
la mujer de prepotencia,
la van de pura decencia
y no ganan pa'l bullon.
Nadie se hace el pata ancha
ni su pecho ensancha
de puro compadron,
porque al de más copete
lo catan y le dan flete
pa' la otra población.

Quote of the Day

The tango is really a combination of many cultures, though it eventually became the national music of Argentina. -Yo-Yo Ma
