Lyrics

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

Lo que pasa muy seguido entre marido y mujer, por no decir entre 'novios' que ya no se pueden ver. Mira Ñata: es necesario que hablemos como es debido, porque ya estoy aburrido de hacer el papel de . Vivir así es un calvario; te lo bato con franqueza. Sacate de la cabeza el de mandar, que, sino, vas a rajar con tus pilchas de la pieza. Si caigo una 'sera' en curda, suena en fija la milonga y me gritás meta y ponga: ¡Basura, reo a la ! Hasta que un día, la zurda de tu coso que bien faja va a empezar a dar baraja y entonces vas a ligar. Y al rato te 'viá' envuelta en una mortaja. Ni dueño soy de atorrar cuando se me da la gana, ni batirte: ¿Qué macana hiciste para ? Y si vuelvo de truquear del almacén de la esquina, dejás de ser gente fina y ya ni el diablo te aguanta y me la querés dar como si fuera una gallina. ¿Qué te crees, soy el gato tranquilo del mes pasado? No m'hijita, ya he cambiado de tanto pasar mal rato. Hoy soy todo un arrebato, mi genio no aguanta más y si es que estas rechiflada con mi manera de ser, ya mismo podes volver con tu mamá, ¡desgraciada! Aquí mando yo, señora, y oiga lo que estoy batiendo. Así que vaya sabiendo quien es el que bronca ahora... Y la Parda sobradora lo escuchó con mucha cancha, le hizo hacer la pata ancha y sin decirle, ¡atajate! le partió al el mate con el filo de la plancha.

English · machine translation

What often happens between husband and wife, not to say between 'sweethearts' who can no longer see each other. Look Ñata: we need to talk properly, because I'm already bored of playing the role of a fool. Living like this is an ordeal; I'll tell you frankly. Get out of your head the nonsense of commanding, otherwise, you're going to crack up with your clothes from the room. If I fall a 'sera' in curda, the milonga sounds on fixed and you shout me meta and put: "Basura, reo a la gurda! Until one day, the left hand of your left hand, that well faja will start to shuffle the deck and then you'll hit on me. And soon you'll be 'manyar' wrapped in a shroud. I'm not the owner of banging when I feel like it, nor to beat you: What did you do to cheat? And if I come back from the corner grocery store, you stop being fine people and not even the devil can stand you any more and you want to give it to me as if I were a hen. What do you think, I am the quiet cat of last month? No m'hijita, I've changed after so much bad times. Today I'm all outburst, my temper can't take it anymore and if you are disgusted with the way I am, you can go back to your mother's right now, you wretch! I'm in charge here, ma'am, and listen to what I'm shaking. So you should know who's the one who's getting angry now? And the sober Parda listened to him with much court, made him do the wide paw and without telling him, ¡atajate! he broke the ciruja's mate with the edge of the iron.
