Lyrics

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

De matón tenés la fama Ya no te queda ni la sombra del que has sido, En el barrio de La Aguada Tu furor ya se acabó. Conformate a balconearla Ya que en la cara te dejaron como muestra, Con el filo de un La cicatriz, como un recuerdo te quedó.

English · machine translation

You have the reputation of a bully You are no longer a shadow of your former self, In the neighborhood of La Aguada Your fury is over. Be content to balcony it Since in your face they left you as a sample, With the edge of a facon The scar, as a souvenir left you.
