González era un ángel menos dos alas

Un dandy con un ojo a la funerala

Tan rojo, tan castizo y tan zascandil
So red, so traditional and so zascandil
Hilaba en los garitos de mala nota
He spun in the gambling dens of bad note
Boleros de Machín con Juanín de Mieres

Apurando esos whiskys en los que flotan
Downing those whiskeys they float on
La luna de las golfas y los crupieres
The moon of the whores and the croupiers
Cuando volvía del extranjero
When I came back from abroad
Tan forastero
so foreign
A las dos no era de día
At two it was not daylight
A las seis ya era de noche
At six it was already night
Pídame un coche
ask me for a car
Fumando espero
Smoking I wait
Y le aplaudían los camareros
And the waiters applauded him
Otoños y otras luces, pan con verbenas

Su príncipe de Gales, tan Cortefiel

Decía que morirse no era tan grave

Y agonizó en voz baja por cortesía

Tan forastero
so foreign
A las dos no era de día
At two it was not daylight
A las seis ya era de noche

Pídame un coche

Fumando espero
Smoking I wait
