Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Soy un porteño nacido en el barrio que se cuadre, niño bien, medio compadre, sobrador y consentido. Tengo fama de aburrido y ando galgueando la , pero guardo la infinita nobleza del ser humano, si canto con “Mano a Mano”, lloro con “La cumparsita'. Me hice una ley: ser derecho en la mala y en la buena, silbo y desato una pena que se hizo nudo en mi pecho. Guardo en el alma el acecho, una pasión sin medida, y sé jugarme la vida por un naipe y una dama, si me habrán dejao de cama naipes, paicas y bebidas. Me templé en los bodegones sacando lustre al estaño, vi hacer callo al desengaño en corazón de varones. Pianto de los metejones que traen al amor fulero, pero soy bueno y sincero cuando el amor me echa garra. ¡Yo soy como la guitarra, canto y lloro cuando quiero!
English · machine translation
I am a porteño born in the neighborhood that fits, good boy, half compadre, spoiled and spoiled. I have a reputation for being boring and I go around scrounging for money, but I keep the infinite nobility of the human being, if I sing with "Mano a Mano", I cry with "La cumparsita". I made myself a law: to be straight in bad times and in good, I whistle and untie a sorrow that became a knot in my chest. I keep in my soul the stalking, a passion without measure, and I know how to stake my life for a card and a lady, if they will have left me in bed cards, paicas and drinks. I was tempered in the still lifes taking luster from pewter, I saw the disillusionment in the hearts of men. I stanch of the metejones that bring to love fulero, but I am good and sincere when love gives me a grip. I am like the guitar, I sing and cry when I want to!
