Chacarera of the Cats

Chacarera de Los Gatos

3 elegants kittiesTres morrongos elegantes
Of cane, galley and glovesDe bastón, galera y guantes
Doing a lot of somersaultsDando muchas volteretas
They packed the suitcasesPrepararon sus maletas

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meowMiau, miau, miau, miau
Kitty, kitty, meowMichi, michi, miau

All the mousinessToda la ratonería
Asked mischievouslyPreguntó con picardía
Kitty Cats, where are you going?¿Michifuces, dónde van?
We are going to TucumánNos vamos a Tucumán

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meowMiau, miau, miau, miau
Kitty, kitty, meowMichi, michi, miau

Well, they've been passed on the tipPues les han pasado el dato
That there are cat contestsQue hay concursos para gato
The three kittys there they goLos tres michis allá van
By streetcar to TucumánEn tranvía a Tucumán

With very catlike cautionCon cautela muy gatuna
They cross Luna's matteCruzan la mate de Luna
And dive headlongY se tiran de cabeza
To the beauty contestAl concurso de belleza

More like the contest wasMás como el concurso era
For gato and chacareraPara gato y chacarera
They were thrown out of the hallLos echaron del salón
Without any explanationSin ninguna explicación

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meowMiau, miau, miau, miau
Kitty, kitty, meowMichi, michi, miau

They returned shortly afterVolvieron poco después
The galleys upside downLas galeras al revés
With burrs in their hairCon abrojos en el pelo
And tails on the floorY las colas por el suelo

Meow, meow, meow, meow, meowMiau, miau, miau, miau
Kitty, kitty, meowMichi, michi, miau

They meowed the truthLe maullaron la verdad
To the whole neighborhoodA toda la vecindad
Tucuman is ugly and sad¡Tucumán es feo y triste
Because the cat doesn't exist there!Porque el gato allá no existe!

The mouses listenedLos ratones escucharon
And immediately they leftY enseguida se marcharon
The mouses there they goLos ratones allá van
By streetcar to TucumánEn tranvía a Tucumán
