“De puro guapo” by Pedro Laurenz y su Orquesta Típica with Juan Carlos Casas in vocals, 1940 (English translation).

"De puro guapo", Argentine Tango music sheet cover.

Music: Pedro Laurenz. Lyrics: Manuel Meaños.

Between cortes y quebradas,
I softly grumbled in your ear
all my flowery verb
that my love told you.

You showed in your smile
all your flirtation,
and I, my manhood defeated …
I, who always knew how to win.

To get your love
I want to bet my life
to the card that I liked …
It is not the first game
in which my rest I have gambled …
And if in the end I take over and win,
—valiant I am in the situation—
there is a knife, brave hand,
courage and bravery
to assert myself.

I have what I want,
and that for valiant and for brave …
It is enough that in one arm I have the rag
and in another the knife …
If my deeds are not enough
I put my courage to the test.
No one advantages my lead
when your love is at stake!
