Lyrics
Español
Me inicié sobre un tranvía no me fue del todo mal, una música vacía y un 'debú' en la seccional. Al prontuario fui por lerdo y en el cuadro entre los cracks, me avivé de escalamiento y al escruche fui a parar. Aplicando la ganzúa fui modesta autoridad, no hubo nunca cerradura que me hiciera patinar. Me he zafado muchas canas y he ligado muchas más, pero mi cana más brava fue un falda de percal. Una falda más esquiva que sonrisa de botón, que ni a uña, ni a 'bombilla' pude entrarle con mi amor. Más cabrera que la yuta se encerró detrás de un no y fallé con la ganzúa al forzar su corazón. Me aflojaron los abriles y al final me jubilé. Me deshice de los 'chiches' y al oficio lo archivé. La ganzúa la conservo pa' un trabajo de mi flor. ¡Quién te dice que San Pedro se descuide en el portón!

I started on a streetcar I didn't do too badly, an empty music and a 'debut' in the sectional. I went to the roster because I was slow and in the cadre among the cracks, I got a taste of escalation and to the scrutiny I ended up. Applying the lock pick I was a modest authority, there was never a lock that made me skid. I've pulled out many gray hairs and I've picked many more, but my bravest gray hair was a calico skirt. A skirt more elusive than a button smile, that neither a fingernail nor a 'bulb' I could not enter it with my love. More cabrera than the yuta she locked herself behind a no and I failed with the lock pick by forcing her heart. The years loosened my grip and in the end I retired. I got rid of the "chiches" and and I shelved the trade. I keep the lock pick for a job of my flower. Who's to say that St. Peter will be careless at the gate!
