Tomala con soda · Adolfo Carabelli · 1933

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

No te pillés tan en serio la vida. Haceme caso, yo manyo el ambiente; si no tomás a la existencia con sifón que sos un gil dirá la gente. Si amarrocás un vintén pa'l futuro se te acabó el apoliyo seguro porque la mafia te sacude un manifiesto y te da el pesto si no aflojás. Tenés que vivir a la moda, minga de preocupación. Que no morfás desde anteayer porque la manga te falló, ¡tomala con soda! Que Justo te incluye en la poda y en la calle ya te ves, clamás al cielo y te arrancás los cuatro pelos ¿para qué? ¡tomala con soda! Aunque se caiga la tierra en pedazos, hacete el gil y aguantá la guiñada. Dejá a la China que se trence con Japón y vos no te metás en nada. Si no querés despertarte en un nicho no chamuyés de la barra 'e don Chicho. Seguí el consejo de la gente que es corrida ¡tomá la vida con un sifón! Tenés que vivir a la moda, minga de preocupación. Si se te pianta la mujer o la encontrás con un gavión ¡tomala con soda! Si acaso has entrado por la boda con un ángel de honradez y a cierta hora descubrís que tu señora... ¿comprendés? ¡tomala con soda!

Don't take life so seriously. Listen to me, I'll take care of the environment; if you don't take existence with a siphon people will say that you're a fool. If you tie up a vein for the future you'll run out of support for sure because the mafia shakes you a manifest and gives you the pesto if you don't loosen up. You have to live in fashion, you're so worried. You haven't had a bite since the day before yesterday because your sleeve failed, take it with soda! That Justo includes you in the pruning and in the street you already see yourself, you cry to heaven and pull out your four hairs, what for? take it with soda! Even if the earth falls to pieces, play the fool and hold on to the wink. Let China be the one to deal with Japan and don't get involved in anything. If you don't want to wake up in a niche don't chamuyés of the bar 'e don Chicho. Follow the advice of the people who are run take life with a siphon! You have to live in fashion, you've got to live in fashion, you've got to worry. If your wife falls off or you meet her with a gabion take it with soda! If by any chance you've entered the wedding with an angel of honesty and at a certain hour you discover that your wife... Do you understand? take it with soda!
