Lyrics

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

¡Victoria! ¡Saraca, Victoria! Pianté de la noria: ¡Se fue mi mujer! Si me parece mentira después de seis años volver a vivir... Volver a ver mis amigos, vivir con mama otra vez. ¡Victoria! ¡Cantemos victoria! Yo estoy en la gloria: ¡Se fue mi mujer! ¡Me saltaron los tapones, cuando tuve esta mañana la alegría de no verla más! Y es que al ver que no la tengo, corro, salto, voy y vengo, desatentao...¡Gracias a Dios que me salvé de andar toda la vida atao llevando el bacalao de la Emulsión de Scott..! Si no nace el marinero que me tira la pilota para hacerme resollar.... yo ya estaba condeno a morir ensartenao, como el último infeliz. ¡Victoria! ¡Saraca, victoria! Pianté de la noria: ¡Se fue mi mujer! Me da tristeza el , chicato inocente que se la llevó... ¡Cuando desate el paquete y manye que se ensartó! ¡Victoria! ¡Cantemos victoria! Yo estoy en la gloria: ¡Se fue mi mujer!

English · machine translation

Victoria! Saraca, Victoria! I got off the Ferris wheel: My wife is gone! If I can't believe it after six years to live again... To see my friends again, to live with my mother again. Victory! Let's sing victory! I am in glory: Gone is my wife! My earplugs popped out, when I had this morning the joy of not seeing her anymore! And it's that when I see that I don't have her, I run, I jump, I come and go, inattentive...Thank God that I was saved from walking all my life tied up carrying the codfish of Scott's Emulsion...! If the sailor is not born who throws me the pilota to make me resolve.... I was already condemned to die ensartenao, like the last wretch. Victory! Saraca, victory! I got off the Ferris wheel: My wife is gone! I'm sad about the bun, innocent chewing gum who took her away... When I untie the package and manye that it was strung! Victory! Let's sing victory! I am in glory: Gone is my wife!
