Toda la calle Florida lo vio
con sus polainas, galera y bastón...
Dicen que fue, allá por su juventud,
un gran Don Juan del Buenos Aires de ayer.
Engalanó la puerta del Jockey Club
y en el ojal siempre llevaba un clavel.
Toda la calle Florida lo vio
con sus polainas, galera y bastón...
Apellido distinguido,
gran señor en las reuniones,
por las damas suspiraba
y conquistaba sus corazones.
Y en las tardes de Palermo
en su coche se paseaba
y en procura de un ensueño
iba el porteño conquistador.
Toda la calle Florida lo vio
con sus polainas, galera y bastón...

Everyone on Florida street saw him with his gaiters, top hat and cane...
They say that he was in his youth,
a great Don Juan of Buenos Aires of yesterday.
He stood out at the door of the Jockey Club
He always had a carnation in his buttonhole.
Everyone on Florida street saw him
with his gaiters, top hat and cane...
From a distinguished family,
a real gentleman in the social gatherings,
he sighed for the ladies
and he conquered their heart.
And in the afternoons in Palermo
drove around in his car
and looking for a fantasy,
there he goes, the playboy from Buenos Aires.
Everyone on Florida street saw him
with his gaiters, top hat and cane....
Note:
The word Shusheta is a lunfardo meaning dandy, fashionista (Derrick Del Pilar=), fop (Michael Lavocah). It's the same word that appears in Así Se Baila El Tango (This Is How to Dance Tango).
