Lyrics

Español

Te conocí hace un año, en una pista bailando, eras negra, regordeta, ya ni sé cómo eras vos. Lo que sé que con la plata, que yo gané trabajando, te hice rubia, te hice flaca, te convertí en un bombón. Hay que ver las volteretas que yo di por tus antojos, hay que ver que papelones que por tu culpa pasé, fui fakir, payaso, mono y por ir tras de tus ojos, renegué de todo el mundo y de todos me olvidé. Con el reloj en la mano yo sufría tu tardanza y tenía la esperanza de que ibas a volver. Pero el plazo se cumplió, por eso te grito ahora, se pasó tu cuarto de hora, adiós, que te vaya bien. Desde ayer soy hombre nuevo porque vivo más confiado, porque sé que si te fuiste fue por bien de mi salud, antes iba con la cara de terror y de amargado, y ahora vivo regalando alegría y juventud. Me levanto cuando quiero y cuando quiero me acuesto, sin pedir permiso a nadie porque ahora soy patrón, sin tener esa tortura de los celos y las dudas que eran dos fantasmas negros que hacían ronda en mi razón.

English · machine translation

I met you a year ago, on a dance floor, you were black, chubby, I don't even know what you looked like. What I do know is that with the money that I earned working, I made you blonde, I made you skinny, I turned you into a hottie. You have to see the somersaults I did for your whims, you have to see what a mess that I went through because of you, I was a fakir, a clown, a monkey and for going after your eyes I disowned the whole world and I forgot everyone. With my watch in my hand I suffered your tardiness and I had the hope that you would return. But the deadline came and went, that's why I cry out to you now, your quarter of an hour has passed, goodbye, fare you well. Since yesterday I'm a new man because I live more confident, because I know that if you left it was for the good of my health, I used to go with a face of terror and bitterness, and now I live giving away joy and youth. I get up when I want and when I want I go to bed, without asking anyone's permission because now I am a boss, without having that torture of jealousy and doubts that were two black ghosts that haunted my reason.
