Pero yo sé · Francisco Lomuto · 1928

Español

Llegando la noche recién te levantas y sales ufano a buscar un beguén. Lucís con orgullo tu estampa elegante sentado muy muelle en tu regia baqué. Paseás por Corrientes, paseas por Florida, te das una vida mejor que un pachá. De regios programas tenés a montones... Con clase y dinero de todo tendrás. Pero yo sé que metido vivís penando un querer, que querés hallar olvido cambiando tanta mujer... Yo sé que en las madrugadas, cuando las farras dejás, sentís tu pecho oprimido por un recuerdo querido y te pones a llorar. Con tanta aventura, con toda tu andanza, llevaste tu vida tan sólo al placer. Con todo el dinero que siempre has tenido todos tus caprichos lograste vencer. Pensar que ese brillo que fácil ostentas no sabe la gente que es puro disfraz. Tu orgullo de necio muy bien los engaña... No quieres que nadie lo sepa jamás.

Night falls you just wake up and go out proudly to look for a beguén. You shine with pride your elegant appearance sitting very spring in your regal baqué. You stroll along Corrientes, you stroll along Florida, you give yourself a life better than a pacha. Of regal programs you have plenty of them... With class and money you'll have everything. But I know that you you live in sorrow for a want, that you want to find oblivion changing so many women... I know that in the early mornings, when you leave the parties, you feel your chest oppressed by a dear memory and you start to cry. With so much adventure, with all your wanderings, you led your life only to pleasure. With all the money you've always had all your whims you managed to conquer. To think that the shine that you easily flaunt people don't know that it is pure disguise. Your foolish pride very well deceives them... You don't want anyone to ever know.
