Estampa de varón · Quinteto Don Pancho (Francisco Canaro) · 1940

Español

Es popular su figura Como arrogante su estampa, Nació en la sombra del hampa Y allí tendrá sepultura. Su corazón de malevo Hecho a bravura y coraje, Jamás temió que el ultraje Humillara su altivez. Es un bravo varón Hecho al tiempo de ayer, Parco y lento al hablar Su palabra es acción. El coraje es su ley Es constante y tenaz, Lo que no ha de cumplir No promete jamás. Pero hay algo que al fin Lo domina también, Son dos ojos de luz Y una boca de flor; Que lo miran ahogar Que no puede pensar, Porque sabe querer Y el amor es amor.

His figure is popular As arrogant as his image, He was born in the shadow of the underworld And there he will be buried. His heart of a villain Made of bravery and courage, He never feared that outrage To humiliate his haughtiness. He is a brave man Made for yesterday's time, Slow and slow to speak His word is action. Courage is his law He is constant and tenacious, What he will not fulfill He never promises. But there is something that at last Dominates him too, They are two eyes of light And a mouth of flower; That watch him drown That he cannot think, Because he knows how to love And love is love.
