Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
Yo soy un cacho de arrabal que no se rindió, mi ley será seguir sin flaquear jamás. Un bandoneón me dio, con su acento , el coraje pa’ guapear. Yo soy aquel varón de ayer, que hoy volví a tallar ganando la partida, que dieron por perdida aquellos que me vieron aflojar. Ayer... por guapo me jugué. Y hoy... me juego como ayer. Caí porque se dio la mala... copé otra vez, y vuelvo a ser señor y rey. Ayer... un “fueye” me acunó, después, mi queja repitió... y hoy... que vuelvo a ser el de antes, su vibración llega otra vez al corazón.
English · machine translation
I am a piece of suburb who did not give up, my law will be to continue without ever faltering. A bandoneon he gave me, with its compadrón accent, the courage to dance. I am that man of yesterday that today I came back to carve winning the game that those who saw me those who saw me slacken. Yesterday... I played for handsome. And today... I gamble like yesterday. I fell because the bad thing happened... I copied again, and I am again lord and king. Yesterday... a "fueye" cradled me, afterwards, my complaint repeated... and today... I'm back to my old self, its vibration reaches my heart again.
