El divorcio

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

Es hora que terminemos, señora con tanto lío, entienda que es el marido el que tiene la razón. Usted tomó el casamiento como asunto de negocio, por eso exijo el divorcio y con mis cosas me voy. A usted le toca el ropero, dos perchas, la palangana, a mí, la mesa, la cama, la pava, el calentador. Y le dejo a su favor, pa’ cuando le venga risa, la dentadura postiza que le compré de ocasión. También le dejo la foto la de Tyrone Powell, a quién le ganó ese coso, yo tengo la de Gardel. Y a cambio de su querer de sus amores tan falsos, aquí le dejo un tortazo y el recibo del alquiler. Pa’ que se bañe seguido también le dejo la tina, el puloil, la lavandina, y la piedra de esmeril. Usted creyó que era un gil y le mostré lo contrario, también me llevo la radio pa’ que vamo’ a discutir. En el reparto de bienes también haremos justicia, yo me encargo de la guita, y usted de los pagarés. Y atenti batirle al juez, que vivo a fuerza de embrollo, porque te encajo otro bollo que no te casás otra vez.

It's time for us to finish, madam, with so much trouble, understand that it is the husband the one who is right. You took the marriage as a matter of business, that's why I demand a divorce and I'm leaving with my things. You get the closet, two hangers, the basin, me, the table, the bed, the kettle, the heater. And I leave it to you, for when it makes you laugh, the false teeth that I bought him on occasion. I also leave him the photo the one of Tyrone Powell, who was beaten by that thing, I have the one of Gardel. And in exchange for his love of his love so false, here's a slap on the wrist and the rent receipt. So that she can bathe often I also leave you the bathtub, the puloil, the bleach, and the emery stone. You thought I was a fool and I showed you otherwise, I'll also take the radio so that we can argue. In the distribution of assets we will also do justice, I'll take care of the money, and you take care of the promissory notes. And be careful to beat the judge, I live by dint of muddle, because I'm going to give you another bun that you won't get married again.
