Rufino Lyrics in English Flans
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rufino by Flans from Spanish to English.
Hace algún tiempo en un bar
A while ago in a bar
Conocí a un buen señor de cierta edad
I met a nice gentleman of a certain age
Un ejecutivo
an executive
Jefe de una empresa de publicidad
Head of an advertising company
Vestía traje de tweed
He wore a tweed suit
Olía a un perfume de Givenchi
he smelled of a Givenchy perfume
Y sin ningún motivo
and for no reason
Se acercó hasta mí mesa y me dijo así
he came up to my table and said this to me
Dime muñeca, ¿no me encuentras atractivo?
Tell me, doll, don't you find me attractive?
Vente muñeca, te invito un aperitivo
Come on, doll, I'll buy you a drink
Rufino
Rufino
Me lleva a jugar al casino
he takes me to play at the casino
Rufino
Rufino
Me invita a comer langostinos
he treats me to eat prawns
Me gusta verle bailar
I like to see him dance
Con su aire de pingüino
with his penguin-like air
Rufino es
Rufino is
Libertino, divino y superficial
libertine, divine, and superficial
Anoche lo encontré
Last night I ran into him
Sentado en la terraza de un café
sitting on a cafe terrace
Disfrazado de moderno
dressed up as trendy
Los años embutidos en un corsé
the years stuffed into a corset
Bebiendo un daiquiri
Drinking a daiquiri
Oliendo a su eterno Givenchi
smelling of his eternal Givenchy
Enfrascado en la lectura
engrossed in reading
Por fuera la luna, dentro el ABC
outside the moon, inside the ABC
Dime muñeca, ¿no me encuentras atractivo?
Tell me, doll, don't you find me attractive?
Vente muñeca, te invito un aperitivo
Come on, doll, I'll buy you a drink
Rufino
Rufino
Me lleva a jugar al casino
he takes me to play at the casino
Rufino
Rufino
Me invita a comer langostinos
he treats me to eat prawns
Me gusta verle bailar
I like to see him dance
Con su aire de pingüino
with his penguin-like air
Rufino es
Rufino is
Libertino, divino y superficial
libertine, divine, and superficial
Anoche lo encontré
Last night I ran into him
Sentado en la terraza de un café
sitting on a cafe terrace
Disfrazado de moderno
dressed up as trendy
Los años embutidos en un corsé
the years stuffed into a corset

Did you like this lyrics translation?
libertino — libertine
Libertino translates to "libertine," a word that describes someone who is morally unrestrained, especially in sexual matters. It's a sophisticated and somewhat archaic term that immediately piques curiosity.
In the song, the narrator describes Rufino as "libertino, divino y superficial." This choice of word paints a vivid picture of Rufino's character, suggesting a man who lives life without conventional moral constraints, adding a layer of intrigue to his personality beyond just being a wealthy executive.
