Un Dia Perfecto Lyrics in English by Estelares

"Un Día Perfecto" (A Perfect Day) by Estelares is pure good mood. It opens with the moment she finally says yes: "Otra vez que tú me dices que sí" (Once again you tell me yes), and from there the singer piles up compliments, calling her "fresca, radiante" (fresh, radiant) and "altiva, elegante" (proud, elegant). He is not going anywhere: "Quiero decir que no me voy a ir" (I mean to say I'm not going to leave).

Then he gets cocky in the best way. He is a "genio brillante, lámpara mediante" (a brilliant genie, by way of a lamp), a little Aladdin joke, and "flor de atorrante" (a real slacker), which is Rioplatense slang that is half insult, half bragging. The old-Hollywood lines are a highlight: "Se puede ver Ava Gardner en ti" (You can see Ava Gardner in you) while people say "está Frank Sinatra en mí" (Frank Sinatra is in me), a nod to the famous couple. The chorus is bright and silly, with "Nos quitamos lo puesto" (We take off what we're wearing), swallows in a "cortejo hechicero" (bewitching courtship) and a "carrousel de los sueños" (carousel of dreams).

Learner tips: flor de before a noun is Argentine slang for "a real" or "a total", so flor de atorrante means "a total good-for-nothing". Damasco in Argentina usually means apricot, so "damasco crocante" is a crunchy apricot, a cheeky compliment. Contursi is a surname, likely nodding to tango lyricist Pascual Contursi.
