Lyrics

Español

Sos de Chiclana, no hay nada que hacer, tu pedigré es del más puro arrabal. Hermana entera sos de aquella Esther a quien los hombres trataron tan mal. Mas si la otra cayó su almita quedó prendida al percal. Vos, en cambio, sos feliz, gastás petigrís y vas al Pigall. (recitado) Pero hay algo en vos, bajo tu gran tren, que grita “¡Chiclana!” a cuantos te ven. Hoy supe que a París te vas con un mishé y con tu gigoló, cuánto nos alegramos... Hacés muy bien, aquí todo acabó; hoy te dice tu puerta “entrarás sólo muerta”. Hoy salió el sol para aquel pobre hogar que osastes enlutar, hoy los tuyos no lloran. Desde París, esta oración oirás: “Señor, qué sea feliz y que no vuelva a amar”. Cuando desfiles allá por Longchamps, la muchachada de aquí dirá, al ver tu linda estampa: “¡Milonga pur sang! Es tu Chiclana, no hay nada que hacer”. Y tu galope triunfal dejará el tendal allá como acá; y tu vieja, en un rincón, alguna oración por vos rezará. (recitado) Pero hay algo en vos, bajo tu gran tren, que grita “¡Chiclana!” a cuantos te ven.

English · machine translation

You are from Chiclana, there is nothing to do, your pedigree is of the purest suburb. You are a full sister of that Esther whom men treated so badly. But if the other one fell her little soul remained attached to the perch. You, on the other hand, are happy, you spend petigris and go to the Pigall. (recited) But there's something in you, under your big train, that shouts "Chiclana!" to everyone who sees you. Today I heard that you're going to Paris with a mishé and with your gigolo, how we rejoice... You're doing very well, it's all over here; today your door tells you "you will enter only dead". Today the sun has risen for that poor home that you dared to mourn, today yours do not cry. From Paris, you will hear this prayer: "Lord, may she be happy and may she never love again." When you parade down Longchamps, the youngsters here will say, on seeing your pretty picture: "Milonga pur sang! It's your Chiclana, there's nothing to do". And your triumphant gallop will leave the sinew there as here; and your old lady, in a corner, will say a prayer for you. (recited) But there's something in you, under your big train, That cries "Chiclana!" to all who see you.
