Lyrics

Español

Por ser bueno, me pusiste a la miseria, me dejaste en la palmera, me afanaste hasta el color. En seis meses me comiste el mercadito, la casiya de la feria, la ganchera, el mostrador... ¡Chorra!... Me robaste hasta el amor... Ahura, tanto me asusta una mina, que si en la calle me afila me pongo al lao del botón. ¡Lo que más bronca me da, es haber sido tan gil! Si hace un mes me desayuno con lo qu' he sabido ayer, no er'a mí que me cachaban tus rebusques de mujer... Hoy me entero que tu mama 'noble viuda de un guerrero', ¡es la chorra de más fama que ha pisao la treinta y tres! Y he sabido que el 'guerrero' que murió lleno de honor, ni murió ni fue guerrero como m'engrupiste vos. ¡Está en cana prontuariado como agente 'e la camorra, profesor de cachiporra, malandrín y estafador! Entre todos me pelaron con la cero, tu silueta fue el anzuelo donde yo me fui a ensartar. Se tragaron vos, 'la viuda' y 'el guerrero' lo que me costó diez años de paciencia y de yugar... ¡Chorros! Vos, tu vieja y tu papá, ¡Guarda! Cuidensé porque anda suelta, si los cacha los da vuelta, no les da tiempo a rajar. ¡Lo que más bronca me da, es haber estao tan gil!

For being good, you put me to misery, you left me in the palm tree, you robbed me of even my color. In six months you ate up my little market, the almostya of the fair, the crochet shop, the counter... Bitch!... You even stole my love... Ahura, a girl scares me so much, that if she sharpens me in the street I'll stand next to the button. What makes me most angry, is to have been so stupid! If a month ago I had breakfast with what I learned yesterday, it wasn't me that I was caught your woman's gossip... Today I find out that your mother noble widow of a warrior', is the most famous bitch that has ever stepped on the thirty-third! And I have learned that the 'warrior who died full of honor, neither died nor was a warrior as you have made me out to be. He is in prison as an agent of the camorra as an agent of the camorra, professor of the truncheon, crook and swindler! Between all of them they peeled me with the zero, your silhouette was the hook on which I went to thread myself. They swallowed you, 'the widow' and 'the warrior', swallowed up what cost me ten years of patience and playing... What a load of crap! You, your old lady and your father, Watch out! Be careful because she's on the loose, if she catches you, she'll turn you around, she won't give you time to crack. What makes me most angry, is to have been so stupid!
