¡Que querés, no te esperaba! Perdoname la franqueza porque desde que te fuiste no pensaba verte más. Y hoy que honrás con tu presencia la miseria de esta pieza, la sorpresa del encuentro la podés imaginar... Perdoná, no me di cuenta, casi ni te di la mano. Si querés quedarte un rato sin ninguna pretensión, poco tengo pa' ofrecerte, no sabés como he quedado, si estoy dando lo que he dado pa' pagar mi metejón Y vos, estoy seguro que habrás echado buena y que te dio vergüenza entrar en el bulín. Ya no andarás cuerpeándole al hambre y a la pena. Tu vida noche y día será un solo festín Me alegra que hayas vuelto después de todo un año con ese vestidito que yo te regalé. Tu lujo, tus alhajas, me hubieran hecho daño ¡Qué bien que te has portado, volviendo como ayer! ¿Qué tenés? ¿Estás llorando? No te pongas de ese modo, si no vas a consolarme con tenerme compasión. No fue sólo por tu culpa que he perdido todo, todo. Es que, entonces, yo tenía un otario corazón ¿Qué decís? ¿Que te engañaron con un mundo de promesas? Que volvés arrepentida, que hoy recién me comprendés. ¡Que querés si se acabaron tus delirios de grandeza! Hoy tenés de recompensa lo que vos te merecés.

What do you want, I wasn't expecting you! Forgive my frankness because since you left I didn't think I'd see you anymore. And today that you honor with your presence the misery of this piece, the surprise of the encounter you can imagine... I'm sorry, I didn't realize, I almost didn't shake your hand. If you want to stay for a while without any pretense, I have little to offer you, you don't know how I've been, if I'm giving what I've given to pay for my metejon And you, I'm sure that you must have given good money and that you were ashamed to enter the bulín. You will no longer go around to hunger and sorrow. Your life night and day will be a single feast I'm glad you're back after a whole year with that little dress that I gave you. Your luxury, your jewelry, would have hurt me. How well you have behaved, coming back like yesterday! What's wrong with you? Are you crying? Don't be like that, if you're not going to console me with pity for me. It wasn't only because of you that I lost everything, everything. It's just that, then, I had a dark heart What are you saying? That you were deceived with a world of promises? That you come back repentant, that today you've just understood me. What do you want if your delusions of grandeur your delusions of grandeur! Today you have as a reward what you deserve.
